Calimesa, California
The City of Calimesa is located in the San Gorgonio Pass area, perched atop the cooler, clearer highlands between Redlands and Beaumont. Once a dusty stagecoach stop and a long-time unincorporated region of Riverside County, Calimesa officially incorporated in 1990. Residents love Calimesa?s small-town atmosphere, and visitors come from all over Southern California to experience Calimesa?s world-class golf and extensive hillside trail systems.

Exploring the Trails
Calimesa offers outdoor enthusiasts one of the finest trail systems in California. Miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails crisscross the hills and valleys that set the backdrop of the City. Calimesa?s trails are part of a larger regional trail system, and include a wide range of surfaces and elevations to fit a variety of outdoor activities. Whether it?s a leisurely walk through the wilderness or a horse ride to Bogart Park and beyond, Calimesa has the trail for you.
Wildlife Corridors
Calimesa is one of few cities in Southern California to retain its rural heritage. When the City incorporated in 1990, its founders were committed to preserving natural open space to provide habitat for wildlife and maintain the area?s beautiful natural setting. Key to the founders? vision was preservation of wildlife corridors, providing safe haven for animals to freely move across town. Two main corridors, the Garden Air Wash in the northern part of the City and the Cherry Valley Corridor to the south, are part of a regional corridor system that allows wildlife to travel from the Badlands to the San Bernardino Mountains.
New Housing
As surrounding cities continue to grow, Calimesa is no longer distant. In fact, its more temperate climate is attracting the attention of many business executives and home shoppers. To meet this growing demand, several new planned communities will soon bring a variety of housing opportunities to Calimesa. SummerWind Ranch, Oak Valley Ranch, JP Ranch and other new communities will diversify Calimesa?s housing stock, and provide new parks, schools and shopping for new and existing residents.
