If you’re trying to figure out where to go for summer vacation, consider Lake Arrowhead. Less than a two-hour drive to the kick-back calm of the beach, the glamour of Hollywood and the beauty of the desert, Lake Arrowhead and the surrounding communities are close enough for quick weekend trips but also a world away from real life, below. Still unconvinced? Check out the following perks you’ll enjoy on a vacation spent in the San Bernardino Mountains:

• Air – Come up for a breath of fresh air. While smog levels choke the life out of Los Angelinos, you’ll find nothing but clear, clean air up here. The facts are undisputable. The air really is cleaner at 5,000 feet. Pollution makes breathing and exercising outdoors difficult, so outdoor activities are difficult in the summer in Southern California. In Lake Arrowhead, the air is fresh. So you’ll be able to avail yourself of great outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, walking trails, shopping, picnicking, and people-watching.

•  Culture – Art shows and classes, wine tastings, free concerts, Friday Night Farmer’s Market, galleries, and specialty shops are just a sampling of the cultural events you and your family will enjoy while you’re on vacation in Lake Arrowhead. After a day at the beach, you will be able to stroll over to the Village to take in a free concert.

• Value – You’ll get more bang for your buck in Lake Arrowhead. You’ll be surprised at the great vacation values, most of which feature beautiful appointments such as fireplaces, breathtaking views and T&G cathedral ceilings. Whatever your budget, you’ll maximize your vacation dollars when you spend them in Lake Arrowhead.

• Recreation – From free concerts every weekend all summer long, to hiking trails, lake activities and more, Lake Arrowhead is a resort community where there is lots to do. Take a tour on the Arrowhead Queen or enjoy a boat ride or take wakeboard or waterskiing lessons at the McKenzie Ski School. Lake Arrowhead also has lots of great summer weekend activities to keep you entertained, such as the Antique & Wooden Boat Show; the New Boat Show; the First Annual Dog Festival; Emergency Preparedness Day; Fireworks on the Lake each 4^th of July; the Beer, Wine & Art Fair; Cruisin’ the Village Classic Car & Motorcycle Show, Paint the Lake; the Home Tour; and the Porsche Timeline.

• Room to relax. If you’re used to life in the busy city below, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how laid back it is in Lake Arrowhead. Come up for a breather—literally and figuratively. Leave your worries behind and embrace a place where there is room to stretch your legs.
