The high desert/foothills region located northeast of Bakersfield is part of the Sequoia National Forest. Elevations range from 1,000 feet around the foothills to peaks over 12,000 feet in the rugged backcountry. Therefore, temperature varies by elevation and conditions can change quickly and drastically depending on where you are. Generally, the foothills are characterized by hot, dry summers and wet, cool winters. Most precipitation occurs November through March in the form of rain in the lower elevations and snow in the higher elevations. Some higher mountains roads close for a while due to snow, others may be icy. During the winter, low-hanging clouds often drift in from the west, hanging around for several days at a time. Rain in the summer is rare, and wildfire is almost always a threat.
