Although it got off to a late start, summer has arrived in Southern California and with it, the scorching temperatures that drive many to seek cooler alternatives for weekends and holidays. If your budget or schedule won’t allow for an island escape and you can’t stand facing the crowds at LA or Orange County beaches, raise your expectations—to 5000 feet—and visit Lake Arrowhead Village.

Temperatures in Lake Arrowhead Village are typically ten to twenty degrees cooler than those in the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley. Just a short drive from the desert floor of San Bernardino, the trip to Lake Arrowhead Village spares you about one degree for every mile you travel up the easy-to-drive Rim of the World Highway.

Lake Arrowhead Village offers something for everyone. Book a romantic night or weekend for two at the Lake Arrowhead Resort & Spa, and dine on seasonal specialties and choice wines at Bin 189. Or bring the whole family and enjoy shopping, casual dining, games and rides, and live entertainment.

Lake Arrowhead Village’s Summer Entertainment Series brings the best in top names, local acts, tribute bands and family-friendly comedy to the mountain each Friday and Saturday night through Labor Day. And just like the parking, the shows are always free.
