Beaumont
is located in Riverside County in the San Gorgonio Mountain Pass. The town offers a rural, rustic beauty with lovely mountain vistas, abundant recreational activities and shopping and dining opportunities. During the 1850s, many surveying parties passed through the site of present day Beaumont in search of a pass to connect the east to the Pacific Ocean. The San Gorgonio Pass was discovered in 1853, which led to plans for connecting a railway from the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean. By the early 1860s the Union Pacific Railroad had erected tracks through what was to become the town of Beaumont. The settlement here was first named San Gorgonio, but was changed to Beaumont when it incorporated in 1912. The town of Beaumont served as a stopping off point for early travelers making their way from the Mohave Desert to Los Angeles. It also grew to become one of Riverside County’s largest apple growers, and later, when nearby Palm Springs grew to become a very popular resort spot, Beaumont followed suit and capitalized on the tourism by establishing guest ranches in the area. Today the city has a population of around 16,000 and boasts two golf courses, a new 20-acre sports park, beautiful city parks, and attractive, affordable housing and easy access to Los Angeles, San Diego and the beaches of Southern California. Beaumont is also home to many antique stores, some of which date back for several decades, including the Nettie and Alice Museum of Hobbies and the modern-day Beaumont Antique Mall.

Beaumont Weather & Climate

|
|
The San Bernardino National Forest, near Big Bear Lake, is the only place in southern California that has four distinct seasons. At nearly 7,000 feet in elevation, the area enjoys warm, pleasant summers and crisp, cold winters. Its alpine tundra climate means plenty of snow in the wintertime for the ski slopes and occasional thunderstorms in spring and summer. The Big Bear Lake region also enjoys over 300 days of sunshine per year and is considered one of the sunniest places in the world. However, once the sun dips behind the mountains at night, it can be very cool %u2013 even in the middle of summer. The climate varies greatly from nearby Los Angeles. It can be 75 degrees in the city and 40 degrees in the mountains on the same day.
