The High Desert of southern California is a beautifully diverse natural area. A range of altitudes has created rich biomes that provide its relatively small human population with wonderful outdoor recreational possibilities and peaceful living. Horse lovers abound here, as do off road enthusiasts, self made naturalists, a few hermits, and people who just appreciate a really cool sunset.

The High Desert is strategically located close to the 15 Freeway and a short commute from the Inland Empire and Los Angeles. Las Vegas is just a few hours away, the Colorado River slightly more, two ski resorts rest in its back yard, and the benefits of the big city and the beaches are just a short drive away. All of this, with clean air, affordable living, and gorgeous natural vistas are what you will find in the High Desert. Particularly in the Tri-Community region of Phelan, Pinon Hills, and Wrightwood, these benefits are in addition to an award winning public school system and a small town atmosphere just miles from the Victor Valley and a little over an hour from Los Angeles.

Winter brings us lots of snow in the local mountains and all the boarding and skiing you can handle. With Ski Sunrise opening in addition to Mountain High, there will be plenty of winter action in the area.
