Altough I had no desire to go here and could not wait to leave, I do consider the high desert worth visiting (but ONLY visiting). I got stationed here while in the marine corps, and the sunrises and sunsets are very beautiful. The heat even though a dry heat gets like an oven in the summer which is made even worse by the view of Big Bear Mountain’s snow covered summit.
Being there you are more than aware that it is not fit for human habitation
I would suggest only visiting during the winter months.
