Highland highlight
Proximity to the San Bernardino Mountains
Highland sits at the southern base of the San Bernardino Mountains, a high and rugged range stretching 60 miles with peaks exceeding 11,500 feet.
The San Bernardino Mountains form a major geographic feature of Southern California, spanning San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The range stretches approximately 60 miles from Cajon Pass in the northwest to San Gorgonio Pass in the southeast. San Gorgonio Mountain, at 11,503 feet, is the tallest peak in Southern California, and the range includes a dozen additional summits exceeding 10,000 feet in elevation.
The mountains are popular for hiking, skiing, and mountain recreation. Major ski resorts operate in the Big Bear area, and Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake support year-round tourism. The region experiences reliable winter snowfall south of the Sierra Nevada, drawing visitors and residents seeking outdoor recreation and mountain communities that range from quiet neighborhoods to bustling seasonal resort areas.
Highland families enjoy proximity to these mountains and their recreational opportunities, from day hikes to weekend getaways. Outdoor recreation and active lifestyles are part of how many households spend their leisure time together. Term life insurance protects those families and the lifestyles they build, ensuring that financial obligations are covered and that the activities that matter most to them can continue for the people they leave behind.
