The mountains in the area are San Jacinto and San Gorgonio..... the latter being the tallest at 11,500 ft. The tram goes up to about 8,500 ft. to Mt. San Jacinto that has a peak of 10,834 ft. There is snow skiing and hiking and a restaurant at the tramway center
Kayteg1, there is so much to do in the area besides golfing. The museums, restaurants, casino's, village fest downtown (on Thursday's) etc. They have architectural tours, movies star tours, etc. We also have the 'Living Desert' zoo in Palm Desert. There are hiking trails galore all over the valley! Also many bike riding routes.
For the shopping aficionado's, there is the huge factory outlet mall in Cabazon, CA. It's just a 20 mile drive through the pass towards Los Angeles....... so many things to do.
If you are a little more adventurous, Big Bear Lake and Lake Arrowhead are just about 75 miles away and are wonderful winter destinations for snow or summer destinations for water sports. There is so much to do in the area... if you are bored, you didn't try hard enough. ;)
Safe travels,
