This excursion will show you the heart of the orange belt or belts of Southern California, especially on the northern and eastern sides of the "kite." The schedule of trains allows of convenient stop-overs, and several may be made to advantage.
Pasadena and Riverside of course must not be passed by.

A short stay at Orange or Anaheim gives an interesting glimpse of a region where orange culture is combined with that of other citrus fruits, as well as the grape and olive.
Aside from these points, the most interesting feature of the trip is the "loop" beyond San Bernardino.

The town of San Bernardino is a thriving business centre.

Perhaps it is on this account that its appearance from the car window is not as attractive as that of Riverside or Pasadena, which from all points of view seem peacefully embowered in half-tropic foliage.

But away from the railroads San Bernardino also has its charming residence district, with the same general characteristics as its sister towns.
Upon the "loop" a stop should be made at Redlands, an interesting spot, where the successful culture of oranges is carried on at a much higher elevation than was thought possible until a few years ago.
