To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Southern California may well bring to mind endless summers and moderate year-round temperatures, but that does not mean that fall does not make its appearance each year. If you are in the mood to enjoy all things fall, the charming mountain town of Oak Glen is the place to be. Take the perfect weekend getaway in Southern California and get a taste of the classic autumn life, even in our warm climate! Oak Glen is less than a two-hour drive from Los Angeles and is gorgeous during fall months when the maple, oak, and black walnut trees change colors and turn the whole area into a brightly colored fall fantasy. We have some ideas for a lovely fall getaway including apple picking in Southern California. Grab your favorite sweater and get ready for a fun fall getaway in SoCal.

Oak Glen is famous for apples and Riley’s Farm is one of Oak Glen’s most popular working orchards. The grounds, with their stunning fall foliage, are the perfect backdrop for your apple-picking adventure.

Riley’s grows a variety of both modern and heirloom apples that you will not find in grocery stores. More than just apples, you can also pick pumpkins while you are there. In fact, every season at Riley’s is picking season, from strawberries and blackberries to Barlett pears.
