San Bernardino
Drive along a stretch of Route 66, explore nearby mountains, and discover the history of this Inland Empire city.
The second-largest city in the Inland Empire and home to a stretch of the legendary Route 66, San Bernardino has long been the gateway to Southern California.
Things to do
Traveling in covered wagons, Mormon pioneers descended through Cajon Pass in 1851 and settled at the base of the mountains before San Bernardino grew into a railroad town with the 1875 arrival of the Southern Pacific and later, the Santa Fe Railway. Today, the restored 1918 Santa Fe Depot, a Mission Revival national historic landmark notable for its domes and towers, is home to the San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum, which tells the story of both the railroad and city. More than 100 freight trains still pass by the museum each day, and its artifacts include a velocipede, a three-wheeled vehicle used for track inspections, and a re-creation of a 1910 railway office.
Starting in the 1920s, San Bernardino served as an oasis for travelers after their arduous journey across the Mojave Desert along Route 66, the 2,448-mile highway that connected Chicago and Santa Monica. Route 66 is such a big part of San Bernardino’s identity that the city’s California League baseball team is named the Inland Empire 66ers.
Another popular escape from San Bernardino is Glen Helen Regional Park, where you can fish for trout on two lakes and hike trails that cover 1,340 acres in the foothills. The park’s Glen Helen Amphitheater is considered the country’s largest outdoor venue, and the unique setting has drawn the likes of performers such as Garth Brooks and Luke Bryan.
Insider tip: Though it is 75 miles away, off-road racing fans take note: San Bernardino is the closest city to Johnson Valley, the public lands that are home to the annual King of the Hammers event. Known as the toughest week of one-day, off-road races in the world, the annual January event draws more than 80,000 fans who come to watch more than 530 teams compete.
