1. Rim of the World Scenic Byway
The city’s gateway to the mountains, the Rim of the World Scenic Byway encompasses parts of Highways 138, 18, and 38 through the San Bernardino National Forest. Connecting popular forest attractions, including Big Bear Lake, Lake Arrowhead, and Cajon Pass, this mountain road really gets its name from the views found along the way. Overlooking the entire Inland Empire, the scenic byway immediately ascends out of the hot valley floor and into the cooler, higher elevations of the forest—adding a nice respite from both city traffic and summer heat.
2. San Manuel Stadium
Home to the Inland Empire 66ers Minor League baseball team, San Manuel Stadium has hosted summer fun since 1996. Concessionaires at San Manuel purvey the classic stadium fares including hot dogs, popcorn, and tacos, with special promotions like «$2 Tuesday» offering budget-friendly deals. All 5,000 seats at the stadium face home plate, and the additional grass seating area can hold just as many fans. Special firework games occur throughout the season, providing one of the largest fireworks displays of the Inland Empire.
