Rancho Cucamonga
is a city situated at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains approximately 40 miles east of Los Angeles. As of the 2000 census, the population was 127,743, but by early 2006, it had grown to over 161,000. One of the fastest growing cities in the country, Rancho Cucamonga is, nevertheless, one of the safest cities in the state and a very desirable place to live and visit due to the year round warm climate and nearby attractions. Rancho Cucamonga is within one hour of both ocean activities and mountain activities such as biking, hiking and snow skiing. Rancho Cucamonga is also host to several special events throughout the year. These include “All That Jazz,” a Mardi Gras themed event that is held every March, the “Spring Swing Golf Tournament” held in early May and “The Vintners Celebration” billed as “the party of the year,” and held in August. In the fall, there is “The Grape Harvest Festival,” which is Californias oldest wine harvest festival, and a “Founders Day Celebration and Business Expo,” held every November in conjunction with the Founders Day Parade. The city of Anaheim, home to Disneyland, is only 25 miles from Rancho Cucamonga. This citys convenient location makes it a prime destination for a southern California vacation.

Rancho Cucamonga Weather & Climate

|
The mountains east of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino National Forest have weather conditions that vary widely depending on the elevation. The range of elevation goes from 1500 feet at the valley floor to over 11,000 feet at Mt. San Gorgonio. Generally, it is very dry and sunny in the summertime and wildfire is always a threat. In July, the forest usually enters the "very high" fire restriction level when no open campfires are allowed and smoking is only within enclosed vehicles. The rainy season begins in October, with January through March being the wettest months. Snow falls in the higher elevations. Weather can change rapidly in the mountains, so visitors are advised to come prepared for a variety of conditions.
