I love Highland Springs Resort. It is one of the best and most beautiful places in the San Gorgonio Pass. The Lavender Festival is such an amazing event. The scent of lavender everywhere, the beautiful music, the glorious lavender fields. Many interesting booths featuring lavender gift items, fabulous food, aslo featuring lavender. All this and the hosts are some of the nicest people I have ever met! A must for everyone! Real Class all the way!
