Palmdale

Tucked into the western Antelope Valley of northern Los Angeles County, Palmdale is a city whose character is shaped by the Mojave Desert’s high, dry climate. The San Gabriel Mountains rise south of the valley, while broad open terrain and seasonal winds give the city a distinctly inland Southern California character. Palmdale is closely linked to aerospace: Air Force Plant 42 and surrounding facilities have long supported aircraft research, testing and production. In spring, the nearby Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve can show extensive blooms of California’s state flower when conditions allow.
