Oak Glen

California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours Oak Glen in this episode of "California Travel Tips."

If you're looking for a taste of New England in sunny Southern California, Oak Glen is a wonderful place you won't want to miss.

More than 60 varieties of apples are grown in Oak Glen, making it the largest apple growing region in Southern California. Here, you'll find everything from tart pink pearls to sweet honey crisps and everything in between.

There are about 10 different apple farms along Oak Glen Road, and each offers its own unique charm.

Start at Oak Tree Village, where you can grab breakfast at the historic Law's Coffee House or Apple Annie's, then head to Colonial Chesterfield, for a tour through its living history displays or a hayride through the orchards.

At Riley's Log Cabin Farm, you can try your hand at tomahawk throwing, make a corn husk doll, press your own cider, or pick your own Oak Glen apples. (You have to pay for them of course).

Each bakery sells its own famous hot apple pies, caramel apples, and apple butter, but for a real treat stop at Snow-Line Orchard, where you can sample fresh cider doughnuts rolled in cinnamon sugar. It's heaven in a bag.

While you're there, watch the workers press fresh cider, then head inside for a sample of three varieties, which are flash pasteurized for safety.

Oak Glen's picturesque environment is perfect for hiking, picnicking and family fun, whether you visit during the crisp months of fall or the warm days of summer.

Noooo someone spilled the beans on KCET about this place. Now it's like an hour wait to get a bag of those yummy donuts... it's always about the donuts.......... and duck lake along the way down from snow line. Anyone go for a picnic there after visiting the orchards? I always go in those huge metal pipe drains for laughs :P
