Fans of history know that it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to get a glimpse of what life was like centuries ago. Luckily, places like the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens make it possible to revisit history. This amazing structure was built in 1897 and was considered the “castle” because of its distinctive design. It stands as a fine example of lavish Victorian architecture. The home's namesake, Kimberly Crest, donated the property to the city of Redlands and it has been a vital historical link to the area's past ever since. The house is available for tours, but it is suggested that you call ahead to schedule a specific time.

For the urban cowboy (or cowgirl) in everyone, there's the Brandin' Iron Saloon and Dance Hall. This charmingly rustic nightlife spot is one of those places that could have been the setting for the famous “Urban Cowboy” movie. The venue features various live country bands, dance lessons and the ever-popular mechanical bull that always attracts plenty of takers. There is also a delicious dinner menu available, too.

It doesn't matter if you are a highly experienced rock climber or you just enjoy taking in the rustic scenery that all of the incredible formations offer, you will really enjoy visiting the Arrowhead Pinnacles. This outdoor area features many walking, hiking and climbing routes amid some heavily rocky terrain. The area is quite similar to the famous Joshua Tree site and there are many crack and face routes to choose from. Heading up the pinnacle takes about an hour.
