Tehachapi offers many visitors so many things to see and do. If your an outdoor warrior, then maybe a night or two camping or just taking in a day trip to hiking to enjoy the fresh air and beautiful moutain views. There is the Nuooah Nature Trail.
Camping sites include 61 family campsites and 2 group facilities at the Tehachapi Mountain Camp and Sierra Flats. An Equestrian trail with a 10-horse corral that lies adjacent to the Horseshoe Campground. My hubby, his best friend, hubbies brother and my oldest son camped here frequently and have really enjoyed how easy it is get to the camp grounds and how nicely the camp is set up. The have recently upgraded the bathroom facilities too.5b

This is a wonderful theatre. Some may not like it and may consider it closet theatres, we like just fine. It is never overly crowed other when a new showing. It is always clean, huge restrooms, and friendly folks. Make sure you look at the coupon links and they have specials, that help you save money.

The poppies are our state flower and they are plentiful every spring if we had decent seasonal rain. We actually had more snow more than rain, so the poppies were excellent. Lots of people like to frequent Lancaster at the poppies reserve, but I think this year we had more.
The best time for flowering is from February to September.

Fall - Summer is growing season for our mountain grown apples. Many travel to Tehachapi for our wonderfully grown apples. We have many orchards that grow 20 different varieties of delicious apples. To find an orchard, just stop in any of our stores and pick up a pamphlet that has a map showing where each of the orchards are located. Each orchard has a number sign that will assist you in the location of the orchard. Many are located on Valley Blvd (Highway 202) and Highline Rd.

This is one of largest action sports facility west of Pennsylvania. They have very well structured park that is beautifully put together for skateboards, BMX Freestyle, Inline Skates, and also have a state of the art gymnastics facility. I am impressed with what they have built, and have observed that they require at all times the use of safety equipment. The staff were at hand everywhere too. A nurse and trainer is on call 24-7. Also available is a swimming pool and bowling alley.

Whatch the trains during their hard trip through the Tehachapi loop up to the pass.
The loop is a Historical Landmark of California. See my intropage to Tehachapi...
How to reach the loop?
The loop is located north west of Tehachapi. There is an exit of the highway 58 even more northwest of the loop (about 2 miles). There are the typical brownish signs for the historical landmarks just before the exit and then later showing you the way to the lookout.
Have a look at the pic 2. It is a screenshot of Google Earth. The view is southwards. In the background on the left you can see Tehachapi. The two markers show you the exit of the highway and the place where I took the photos.

This treasure park is a historical site of Kawaiisu (Nuooah) Indian winter village who chose to make their home in Tehachapi for over three thousands years. It is in the Sand Canyon area just east of Tehachapi. They chose this canyon area to endure the long winter months. The Kawsiisu are of Shoshonean lineage and spoke the Uto-Aztecan language. They were a peaceful and gentle people and like all Native Amercians had such respect for all that surrounded them because they knew all living things were precious and provided life for them. They were gatherers and hunters who traveled the whole area for food from the mountain and to the desert. The park was preserved by members of the Tehachapi Heritage Leauge and Assemblyman Phil Wyman and is a protect under the State Park programs. It is only open by appointments for tours since the area is so sensitive. Tehachpi has an elevation of over 4,000 feet so be prepared according to the weather. Bring water, extra clothing, sunscreen and good walking shoes. You can call the Tomo-Kahni Resource Center for more information.
Adults $4.00
Children 6-16 $2.00
Not recommended for children under 6.
