The Seasons
The seasons here are unlike other parts of California, as Rainbow Tarns enjoys 4 full seasons. This is due to its ideal elevation.
Spring/Summer
Three ponds (tarns) shaded by Willows and Aspens are only a few steps from the front porch. Leather rockers will tempt even the most active person to sit and enjoy the quiet serenity of the Tarns. Rocky hillsides and open meadows invite exploration and the surrounding areas offer adventures galore. There are many outdoor activities including excellent trout fishing to keep you quite busy even into the fall. Read more about the Seasons
