Wigwam Motel - California Route 66!
Hey guys! I'm Veronica Hill with California Travel Tips and I'm really excited to show you a tour of the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino/Rialto on California Route 66!
This Route 66 motel, a beloved relic in San Bernardino since 1949, is the last of three remaining Wigwam motels in the country. (The other two are in Kentucky and Arizona).
Designed by Frank Redford in the Native American style, the Wigwam motels on Route 66 have long been a favorite pilgrimage for Mother Road enthusiasts and are among the best Route 66 attractions. Each concrete teepee boasts updated amenities that include new Serta beds, free WiFi, flat screen TVs and refrigerators. Coffee is available in the lobby. While you're there, be sure to say hi to Kumar Patel, the motel's owner and a passionate Route 66 expert and preservationist.
During your stay, you can take a dip in the kidney-shaped swimming pool, grill up a burger on the barbecue, or explore nearby attractions that include the site of the first McDonald's restaurant (now a Route 66 museum) or the Auto Club Speedway. If you can, time your visit for the annual Route 66 Rendezvous, held here each September.
Fun Fact: The Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land at Disneyland California Adventure was inspired by the Wigwam Motel in San Bernardino / Rialto and Holbrook, Arizona and the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The cozy name comes from the Cozy Dog Drive-In in Springfield, Illinois.
WIGWAM MOTEL
2728 E Foothill Blvd, San Bernardino, CA 92410
(909) 875-3005
The Rialto Wigwam Motel does not have a restaurant, so if you want to go out to eat, owner Kumar Patel recommends the following restaurants in San Bernardino:
1) Burger Mania: 124 W. Foothill Blvd., Rialto, CA 92376; (909) 874-5171;
2) Brothers Pizza: 142 E. Foothill Blvd., Rialto, CA 92376; (909) 874-1987;
3) Mitla Cafe (One of the oldest Mexican restaurants in Southern California and birthplace of the Taco Bell chain!) : 602 N. Mt Vernon Ave., San Bernardino, CA; (909) 888-0460. No website.
Tip: *Downtown* San Bernardino can be a bit rough, so use caution at night. The location of the motel is perfectly safe.

California road trip in May
Let us introduce ourselves. We are Eldar Nazyrov and Mary Stoletova, long time friends and travel companions. We have started this firm about a year ago in May (haha who would have thought) and eventually brought it and ourselves into America.
So, we create awesome group road-trips across the States. We organize groups for 8 to 12 people and offer them the wonderful off the beaten path places to visit. It's not about driving hundreds of miles and seeing maximum places for cheap, but about helping people to socialize and, most importantly, to experience great discoveries together and to share them with each other.
For about five years in our previous tourist businesses we found out that our world opens up a little wider for a small group rather than for an independent traveler or a huge tour bus. Small groups offer security, affordability and comradery. Plus, carpooling reduces the negative impact on the environment. So, a win-win.
Right now we gather people for a July 10-24th Californian road-trip. It's a two week long road-trip through the best places of the Golden Coast of California which are supposed to be seen by everybody who has eyes. Golden beaches, endless canyons and relict forests. Plus great food, unexpected discoveries and great people around - you're no longer gonna have to make up imaginary friends!
El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle Area | Dry Lake Bed in SoCal
El Mirage Dry Lake, or the “El Mirage Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area,” is a 6-mile long dry lake bed located in the Mojave Desert on the western edge of San Bernardino County. It offers a myriad of off-highway recreational activities from dirt biking, automobile racing, and gyrocopter and ultralight aircraft operation. If you’re like me and own none of the above, well, make do with what you got! I spent the day exploring El Mirage in my 2013 Ford Escape and it made for a rather enjoyable morning!
Before you head out to El Mirage, you should know that the area is under the official jurisdiction of the United States Bureau of Land Management and there are a few rules you should be aware of. A permit is required to access the lake bed, but the prices are very reasonable. $15 for a day use pass, $30 for a week, and $90 for an entire season. For more information, head over to

California Citrus: A Cultural Tale of California’s Citrus Industry
California Citrus State Historic Park in Riverside, CA beautifully preserves one of Southern California’s important historical, cultural and agricultural contributions: citrus farming. In 1873, California’s citrus industry took off when the United States Department of Agriculture mailed two Washington Navel orange trees to Eliza Tibbets, one of the early settlers and founders of Riverside. Word quickly spread of how these trees, coupled with perfect soil and weather conditions in Southern California, produced a sweet and flavorful fruit.
By 1893, Riverside was the wealthiest city per capita in the United States and dozens of new citrus growing communities were created around it – including Rialto, Fontana, Bloomington, Redlands, Loma Linda & South Riverside (now Corona). Citrus farmers flocked to California in what became known as the “Second Gold Rush” and by 1901, there were a staggering 4.5-million citrus trees in California. The industry required a large workforce and immigrant workers quickly filled the need. Native California Indians were among the first to farm the new California Gold,” but anti-Native American sentiment resulted in a decline in the workforce. The Native Americans were mostly replaced by Chinese immigrants, but soon enough – thanks to anti-Chinese sentiment & The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 – they too were replaced. This time, Japanese immigrants filled the void and became the largest of any labor group in the entire citrus industry. However, once again, anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States soon forced them out and they were eventually replaced by Hispanic immigrants.
In the 1920’s, the Cristero War in Mexico – spawned by the imposition of secularist and anti-Catholic articles in Mexico’s Constitution – resulted in hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens immigrating to the United States. They quickly filled the void in California’s citrus industry and soon enough they became the largest labor group in the entire industry. For a small $5 entry fee, you can explore California State Historic Park for yourself and learn more about these immigrant work group’s contribution to Southern California’s cultural and agricultural heritage.
