There's no shortage of ways to get your kicks in San Bernardino. The local museums are surprisingly unique, like the Robert V. Fullerton Museum of Art, which houses Egyptian antiquities, ancient Italian pottery, and Chinese funerary art, and a Route 66 museum at the site of the world's first McDonald's. Music lovers will enjoy concerts at the San Manuel Amphitheater, the largest outdoor amphitheater in the US. For even more fresh air, head to the hiking trails and lakes of the San Bernardino National Forest, or enjoy the cool waters of Lake Arrowhead and Lake Gregory.
If you like festivals, San Bernardino is your place. Not surprisingly, the city's biggest party every year is the 4-day Route 66 Rendezvous, held downtown along the original "Mother Road." The city has also been celebrating citrus for over 100 years with the annual National Orange Show Festival. Bikers will feel at home at the Berdoo Bikes & Blues Rendezvous and the yearly Hells Angels anniversary celebration. There's plenty for nature lovers, too. A San Bernardino vacation rental on Lake Arrowhead offers ample opportunity for swimming and boating. A ride on the Arrowhead Queen will even let you gape at your celebrity neighbors.
San Bernardino gets the hot, dry summers you think of when you imagine Southern California, with high temperatures from June through September commonly rising into the 90s. Winters, though, tend to be colder than the surrounding areas. Chilly morning frosts aren't uncommon, so be sure to bring your coziest sweater or coat, particularly from November to April when the lows hover in the 40s and you might see some snow flurries. If you opt for a San Bernardino vacation rental in the mountainous Arrowhead Springs neighborhood, you can expect to see heavy snows at times.
The San Bernardino area offers nearly every geographical feature you can imagine. The city lies along historic Route 66 in a valley at the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains.

The San Bernardino National Forest offers plenty of hiking trails and lakes to explore. If you venture further afield, within a few hours you can be at the imposing Mojave Desert or among the otherworldly plant life of Joshua Tree National Park.
