Sage brush and small Pinion pine trees are the local ground cover here in the Antelope Valley. Higher up the hillsides and along the river there are Jeffrey Pine and Aspen.

Although tourism is the primary industry in this area, ranching is still an active enterprise in the valley. You'll see large herds of cattle, horses and sheep on ranches all along Highway 395.
Tourists find their way here from all over the world. Most are on their way to Yosemite, Death Valley or Las Vegas. Many residents work for the County, State or Federal Government.

You'll find all the services you may require while in the area: motels, restaurants, grocery stores, service stations, realtors, galleries, trading posts, flower shops, sporting goods and pack stations.

Keep your eyes open next time you are down this way. You just never know what type of wildlife you will spot along the road.
