Want to get up in the mountains? Mt Baldy is our local ski area in the winter, only about an hour drive from A Shore Thing. Take the chairlift up to the Top of the Notch restaurant during the winter or summer and enjoy a craft beer or two! A short walk to the east takes you to a stunning view of the desert. On a clear day you can see Catalina Island to the west.
