Autumn is in the Air

September 12, 2008

With cooler nights and foggy mornings there is a feel of autumn. With autumn comes the apple season in the Oak Glen area in the foothills above Yucaipa. I can remember going out to Riley's Farm on Oak Glen Road and picking apples and putting them through the cider press. That was years ago and Rileys have built their property as a destination with a Colonial Revolutionary Village. There are many spots in the charming Oak Glen area to have a slice of apple pie or purchase a bushel of apples to eat and cook into homemade apple sauce. I can already smell that aroma !

It is early on in the apple season, but it is a less crowded time to take a drive up Oak Glen Road.
You might even find some farms open with pick-it-your-self strawberries, raspberries and peaches.

We are so fortunate in the Inland Empire to have such a wide variety of scenic routes to explore.
