Southern California's Inland Empire offers to both the vacationer and the conventioneer unparalleled beauty and recreation, history and culture, arts and entertainment, and, of course, shopping. In a Mediterranean climate - more than 330 sunny days a year with temperatures ranging from 58° in winter to 107° in summer - Riverside and San Bernardino counties boast rolling hills, forested mountains, broad deserts, open valleys, and cosmopolitan cities.
Feast Your Eyes
Towering pines and lakes cover the mile-high mountains, dramatic landscapes blanket the deserts, award-winning wineries dot the hillsides, and citrus groves, museums, and historic buildings define the valleys.
Treat Your Body
In parks and plateaus and in forests and mountains, outdoor enthusiasts will find backpacking, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, and skiing. On lakes and in streams, they'll enjoy boating and fishing, water-skiing and swimming. In our deserts, adventurers can hike, rock climb, camp, and even explore ancient Indian petroglyphs. And in our valleys, devotees can experience skydiving, hang-gliding and ballooning, equestrian trails, tennis, and golf.
With the region's varied topography and the proximity of the San Bernardino mountains, the Mojave Desert, and the Pacific Ocean, the avid sportsman could - as some residents like to brag - snow ski, dune buggy, and surf all on the same day.
Expand Your Mind
In and near our cities, visitors will find historical attractions, museums, botanic gardens, performing arts, amusement parks, Indian gaming, jazz and rock concerts, and festivals year-round. And of course there's shopping. Treasure-filled antique shops are found in most of the downtown/old town shopping districts in our small towns and large cities, and throughout the region shoppers will find hundreds of stores in our four factory outlet stores, nine shopping malls, and five outlet mall centers.
