Oak Glen – Apple Country!

Catherine, Axel, & Rosie’s Scoop: Oak Glen is one of our absolute favorite places to go! It’s located off the 10 freeway just north of Yucaipa and Beaumont. Oak Glen is known for its apples, but it is fun to visit even if it isn’t apple season. The orchards are dog friendly and many of them have tasty treats including, barbecue, pies, roasted corn, mini donuts, and of course apples. There are some hiking trails and nature walks nearby. We recommend the Oak Glen Preserve and Southern California Montane Botanic Garden. It is gorgeous year round and dogs are always welcome. Snowline Orchard is a popular one and has allowed us to walk our dogs through the apple trees. We enjoy spending the afternoon there because they have a small winery and do tastings and the scenery is great. Oak Glen even has a few wedding venues ( my husband and I got married there!) and we know from experience that The Homestead at Wilshire Ranch is dog friendly! The best season to go to Oak Glen is fall; it is apple season and there are many fun activities. But the town is still open in the winter and there is snow.
