There is never any frost there to injure the fruit.

The Hotel Terracina, on the heights, has a wondrous view, and the Smiley brothers, of "Lake Mohunk" celebrity, have fine grounds and homes on Canon Crest, and are thinking of building a hotel.
The circuit of the "loop" reminds me of roving around upon the rim of a very large and shallow spoon, tilted upward toward Mentone at the smaller end.

San Bernardino is 1075 feet above the sea, and Mentone 1640 feet.

At that point we have nearly climbed the foothills, and are very close to the great mountains themselves.

As we skim around upon the upper side of the "loop," the long gradual slope from the foot of the mountains to the stream at the centre of the valley seems an ideal conformation for leading the irrigation streams from the mountains along the rows of orange trees which will soon entirely cover this valley.
Four miles from San Bernardino is the station of Arrowhead, from which we have a near view of the peak of nature which gives the place its name.
