  Big Bear, California Travel Guide



Welcome to California's Inland Empire and its hotels ranging from mountain resorts at Big Bear Lake to Temecula Wine Country boutique properties. There's lots of golfing at the Inland Empire hotels and also the fantastic Temecula wine country resorts with casino action for gamblers, or wine tasting and other amenities. You pick it! Inland Empire describes an area of California east of Los Angeles and San Diego beaches. It forms the warm, dry area that in a natural state, looks and feels more like a desert, which runs to the east of this inland region away from the coast.

Inland Empire cities range from rural and mountainous to urban. The cities of Riverside, Corona and San Bernardino are some of the fastest growth areas in Southern California, offering shopping, work, play, events, sports, and the getaways within reach no more than 30 minutes to an hour. Places such as Riverside with the famed Mission Inn where guests can still stay, has hosted presidents of the United States of America! This hotel shows that Riverside was once a regal vacation area of California. Though economies changed and Riverside went from a tourist destination to a housing mecca, the spirit still lives. One peak as the San Bernardino mountains where Big Bear Lake, Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead mountain resorts reside, inspires more than the imagination. The winter ski destination and summer playland for water sports and mountain hikes is just a stone's throw away. A quick 45 minute drive up "the hill" offers pine scented air, blue skies, and awe-inspiring vistas.
