SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA PHOTOS AND INFORMATION

.
San Bernardino is the name of both a county and a city in Southern California. The city is situated at the foot of the San Bernardino mountains (seen in view above) as part of an inland county that contains no beaches, but a diversity of landscapes from desert to mountain peaks and beautiful lakes with boating, fishing, skiing and even boat tours.

There are 31 cities in the county that include Adelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow, Big Bear Lake, Chino, Chino Hills, Colton, Crestline, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Hesperia, Highland, Joshua Tree, Lake Arrowhead, Loma Linda, Lucerne Valley Montclair Needles Ontario Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Rialto, Running Springs, San Bernardino, Twentynine Palms, Upland, Victorville, Wrightwood, Yermo, Yucaipa and Yucca Valley. One of the region's fastest growing counties provides affordable housing, by Southern California standards, and is known for its rugged residents who can actually commute 100 miles each way to jobs in L.A.

When the flowers are in bloom, the desert and mountains offer some of the best opportunities for picture taking. Winter transforms the mountain communities into a playground for ski and  snowboard enthusiasts, while summer offers an abundance of water sports, hiking and mountain biking. From Calico Ghost Town to Ontario Speedway, from the mountain resorts of Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead to the stark deserts framed in famous black and white photos by the likes of Ansel Adams, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities and sports that include camping in the San Bernardino National Forests and dozens more:
