Insider Information
- Visit after Labor Day to avoid summer crowds and experience a beautiful transition to Autumn.
- There is occasionally a you-pick apple orchard open in the fall on the way up Highway 38 from Redlands. Its on the left hand side of the road near the Glass Road turnoff, and they put a sign out at the turn when they are open. Good luck. I’ve only succeeded twice.
- The Santa Ana River is a beautiful hiking destination and can be accessed several times along the trails in the area. Pack a lunch and eat with your feet in the water (but please practice Leave No Trace ethics).
