A region of diverse landscapes stretching from the panoramic vistas of the High Desert to the rolling hills of the Temecula Valley, it includes snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, wind-blown sand dunes, and unlimited recreation in the air, on land and water.

You'll find a wide range of adventure experiences, including rock climbing, skydiving, hang gliding, and hot air ballooning. Boating, sailing, fishing, water and jet-skiing, and parasailing can be experienced on the Inland Empire lakes.

For golfers, the Inland Empire is Southern California golf at its finest. The consistent weather allows for year-round golf, and the more than 100 golf courses within its borders allows for a wide variety of play. An added plus of golf in the Inland Empire is the green fees, which are consistently well below courses in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.

The Inland Empire has a temperate, Mediterranean climate, with moderate winters, warm summers, and generally low humidity. Monthly highs range from sixty-six (66°) degrees in the winter to nineth-four (94°) degrees in the summer. The average annual rainfall ranges from 3.14 inches a year in the Coachella Valley, to 9.92 a year in the urban regions.

Few areas of California feature the extraordinary array of tourist attractions, fairs and concerts, and outdoors activities that take place in the Inland Empire. There are professional minor league baseball teams, equestrian events, and locations for Indian Gaming.
