Top Reasons to Go

Wine Country. One of the Southland's most popular weekend escapes, the Temecula Valley is a mélange of rolling hills, faint ocean breezes, old-world-style wineries, and gourmet restaurants.

The Mission Inn. One of the most unique hotels in America, Riverside's Mission Inn has hosted several U.S. presidents. Take a peek inside this rambling, eclectic resort and you'll see why.

Apple Country. Oak Glen is Southern California's largest apple-growing region. Attend an old-fashioned hoedown, take a wagon ride, and sample Mile High apple pies and homemade ciders.

Soothing Spas. The lush grounds, bubbling hot springs, and playful mud baths of Glen Ivy are ideal spots to unwind, while Kelly's Spa at the historic Mission Inn provides a Tuscan-style retreat.

Alpine Escapes. Breathe in the clean mountain air, hit the slopes, or cozy up in a rustic cabin at one of four great mountain hideaways in the Inland Empire. Lake Arrowhead offers an upscale experience, while Big Bear is popular with mountain bikers, skiers, and fishermen. Idyllwild is known as a couple's escape, with plenty of charming B&Bs. In Wrightwood, go hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail, explore the highest point of the San Andreas Fault, or ski at one of three Mountain High Resort locations.
