The Most Criminally Overlooked Town In Southern California And Why You Need To Visit
We all have our favorite spots to visit in Southern California — from bustling big cities to quiet beachside communities and even dusty desert destinations. But there’s one part of Southern California that’s often overlooked that deserves a little attention — SoCal’s mountain towns. And there’s one town in particular that is well worth a visit.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The town of Wrightwood in the San Gabriel Mountains is one spot you should take some time to explore.
Located on State Highway 2 only 90 minutes from Los Angeles, Wrightwood is the ultimate quick getaway that will take you out of the city and into a quaint small town retreat.
And even though this charming mountain town may not have its own lake, Wrightwood is centrally located and only a short ten-minute drive to Jackson Lake. Now that's the best of both worlds!
But don't just head here for a day trip. This is the kind of town that deserves an entire weekend. And nothing beats staying in one of Wrightwood's many cozy cabins that date back to the 1930s. What an adventure!
