Lake
Arrowhead Is Easy To Reach
From Los Angeles to Lake Arrowhead is a leisurely trip
to be made as you desire, in two or three hours by automobile,
or by steam and Pacific Electric trains from Los Angeles
to San Bernardino where the big, luxurious busses of the
Motor Transit Co. whisk you comfortably up to the lake.
There is a choice of two main motor routes from Los Angeles. Los Angeles to Lake Arrowhead
via Waterman Canyon Road Go out North Broadway from Los Angeles. Turn on to Huntington
Drive and follow Huntington to the Foothill Boulevard.
Turn right at the Boulevard and drive straight to San Bernardino,
a distance of 58 miles. If you have no reason to go through
San Bernardino, and if you wish to avoid the traffic along
the Foothill Boulevard (which from Claremont on is U. S.
Highway 66), turn north from Foothill Boulevard at Euclid
Avenue. (Euclid Avenue runs north from Uplands.) Drive
up Euclid to Highland, thence through the out-skirts of
San Bernardino to Sierra Way. Turn left at Sierra Way and
drive straight to the entrance of Waterman Canyon, and
straight up the State Highway, the plainly marked, smooth
High-Gear Road to Lake Arrowhead. From San Bernardino,
it is 20 miles to the Lake. Another variation of this route is to follow U. S. Highway
66 to the outskirts of San Bernardino. Turn to the left
on to Mount Vernon. Drive along Mount Vernon to Highland
Avenue; turn right on to Sierra Way, and left to the entrance
of Waterman Canyon and the High-Gear Road.

Los
Angeles to Lake Arrowhead
via The Desert Route
From
San Bernardino drive out Arrowhead Avenue to Cajon Avenue.
Then drive over Cajon Pass to Hesperia. Follow the road
signs to Lake Arrowhead. In the winter, the Waterman
Canyon road is the best route. It is always open, save
after severe snow storms, when there is occasionally
a wait until snow-plows can clear the road. In Spring
and Fall, many motorists use the Waterman Canyon Road
going up, returning by the Desert or Hesperia Route.
The desert trip is longer, fifty-six miles from the Lake
to San Bernardino, but combines the splendor of the desert
with the majesty of the mountains.

Winter
at Lake Arrowhead
While Southern California basks in
the warmth of January sunshine and the fragrance
of orange blossoms –Lake
Arrowhead, a scant two and one-half hours away, lies
covered in a blanket of virgin white snow! Winter two
and a half hours away –seventy eight miles from
your office –winter with its lusty life of red
cheeks and sporty play, winter calling you to something
different, something healthful and easy of access. Here is the calm beauty, the silent majesty of a world
wrapped in white a mile above the orange blossoms.
Here is snug warmth by a great crackling fire while
the north wind sings its song. If you love winter –love it
white and crisp and full of tang, come to Lake Arrowhead
in winter
and enjoy it in comfort. |
Winter
Hotel Accommodations
When they built hotels at Lake Arrowhead they built warmth
into them, they built security, and they built comfort.
Then they piped the whole ensemble for steam heat. As a
result, you may enjoy the coldest winter of the mountains
and be warm when you come in at night ready for a sleep
of sweet, deep peace.
Lake Arrowhead is the ideal winter resort.
At night, in the winter, hotel guests mingle with lodge
owners who come
up to their beloved lake all year around. Gay is the fellowship,
happy the parties –and full is the welcome that awaits
you. |

Winter Sports
One of Life’s Real Thrills
Have
you ever rushed madly down an ice-slick toboggan? Have you ever felt
the swift thrill of skimming the ice
of the ring of flashing skates? Have you ever shot
downward on twin streaks of greased lightning called
skis? Have
you ever clump-clumped through virgin snow on snow
shoes, under dark pines, and through little growing
Christmas
trees? If you have, you know the full tang of life
at its keenest. If you haven’t, you’ve missed one
of the real thrills of life –going on just two
and a half hours away from your hoe and office.
Ice Skating
During January and February Lake Arrowhead and its skating
rinks ring with the joyous cries of swiftly flying figures,
red-checked and happy.
