Palmdale

If you are looking for adventure but do not want to give up city life, this is the perfect place for you. This county is the second most populated region in the Antelope Valley, at an elevation of 2,655 feet above sea level. Characteristic of a High Desert, Palmdale has a history of hot summer days followed by cooler winter temperatures, sometimes dropping below freezing. Palmdale was first discovered and occupied by the Yuhaviatam tribe of Native Americans in that region. The Antelope Valley served as a trade route for those in the Arizona and New Mexico area, leading to California’s thriving coast. Now Palmdale is known for its thriving aerospace industry, coining the nickname as the “aerospace capitol of the world.” The city has spearheaded the development of the Space Shuttle, and other historical aircrafts for the Air Force, NASA, and other airlines around the world.

 

This aerospace hot spot has all the attractions a family could dream of when planning their next vacation.
