Lake Arrowhead
Two years ago, when on vacation in Southern California, I visited one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. Lake Arrowhead is situated two hours southeast of Los Angeles, but it looks nothing like L.A. It consists of a lake (surprise surprise!) surrounded by beautiful homes, the pretty Lake Arrowhead Village, and a huge forest with tons of pine trees. The air is so fresh up there, and since we're still in Cailifornia, its basically sunny there every day.
Here are some pictures from when I was there in the summer of 2014

On the way up from San Bernardino. Small roads with scenic views.

Lake Arrowhead. The most peaceful and relaxing place I've ever been to.

Fishing. Look at the manificent homes in the background. I would like one of those!

Some more Lake Arrowhead

Lake Arrowhead Village, since I was there in the summer, the village was pretty empty. I can imagine that it gets pretty crowded here during skiing season.
