Yucaipa

A working apple orchard in Oak Glen since long before the tourist crowds, with pick-your-own berries running May through October and apples August through November.

Pumpkins come in for September and October, plus mountain trails and an annual apple butter festival.

Caramel apples and farm animals round out the visit.
