Rim of the World Scenic Byway
Lake Arrowhead, CA
By Simir Shah
The Highway 18 drive up to Lake Arrowhead is an attraction in itself, hugging the mountain rim with turnouts that open onto sweeping views over the valleys and lakes far below. Pull off at the marked overlooks (safe paved pullouts with interpretive signs) for an easy free photo stop with the kids. Watch winter weather — the road gets snow and chains are sometimes required.
