Apple Valley is
located at the southern edge of the Mojave Desert. Apple
Valley, in combination with Victorville, Hesperia,
Adelanto and immediate surrounding areas, are commonly known as the Victor
Valley. The primary thoroughfare
through Apple Valley is State Route
18, which was given the moniker "Happy Trails
Highway" within Apple
Valley town limits, after the theme song of Roy Rogers
and Dale Evans, who once resided on Outer Highway 18. The Mojave
River that borders the west side of
Apple Valley, is one of only a
handful of rivers in the world to flow magnetic north. The town is bounded on
its southern edge by the foothills of the San Bernardino mountains.
Lake Arrowhead
is an unincorporated community in the San Bernardino Mountains,
within the San Bernardino National
Forest, surrounding the Lake Arrowhead Reservoir.
Lake Arrowhead
consists of 6 communities including Lake
Arrowhead, Twin Peaks,
Blue Jay, Cedar Glen, Sky Forest,
and Rim Forest.
It was formerly called "Little Bear Lake", until around 1920, when a
group from Los Angeles, the
Arrowhead Lake Company, bought the lake and the land surrounding it, and
changed its name to Arrowhead Lake.
There are 400 guestrooms in hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts, vacation
cabin rentals, condos, and rustic cabin lodges and resorts.
We went to Apple Valley
to see Auntie Lesa and Uncle Scott. They took us on a one day road trip to Lake
Arrowhead. Photos do not do it
justice!
