Explore the Pass Area
Each community in the Pass Area has its own personality — from master-planned Beaumont to equestrian Cherry Valley, hillside Calimesa, and historic Banning. The San Gorgonio Pass was once called "the Badlands" by stagecoach drivers tackling its rugged terrain; today, those same communities are the heart of Riverside County's western gateway to the Inland Empire. Find the one that fits your lifestyle.

Beyond the Pass Area
The four Pass Area communities aren't the only options in this part of Riverside County. Yucaipa, a growing family community in the San Bernardino foothills, is just 10 minutes west on I-10. Redlands, with its historic downtown and university, is about 20 minutes west. Hemet, the gateway to the San Jacinto Mountains, is 25 minutes south. And Moreno Valley — one of the IE's largest and fastest-growing cities — is about 30 minutes west on I-10.
