Spring brings vivid color to the Lake Arrowhead Communities. As bright daffodils and tulips usher in warmer temperatures, birds chirp, wildlife frolics and new life explodes throughout the area. Summer is just about perfect ~ never too warm and never too cool. It’s not so much the weather though; it’s the sounds that make the summer memorable. Ski boats on the lake, the lapping of the water, children playing and the daily light breeze rustling through the pines. Summer is the time to make the most out of outdoor life; it’s very hard to stay indoors from May through September.The mountains come alive in the fall with colors of dark golds, reds, and oranges. The trees and a variety of vegetation put on a show for those who come to the mountains in October and November. Couple the spectacular color with warm days and cool evenings and that adds up to a simply glorious season."
