It lies 17.6 miles north-east of Yucaipa, CA (from Yucaipa, CA: bearing 38°T), and is situated 1.9 miles south-south-west of Big Bear City.

The landscape is one of sharp angles and broad vistas, where the earth, baked by the sun for much of the year, shows its ochre and russet hues, punctuated by the hardy green of resilient flora. The history of Moonridge is deeply entwined with the allure of the mountains and the promise of recreation. Once a modest collection of cabins catering to those seeking respite from the desert heat below, it has evolved into a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders drawn to the nearby slopes, and hikers exploring the extensive network of trails that snake through the national forest. The local economy, though diversified, still hums with the energy of tourism, evident in the cozy lodges, the bustling souvenir shops, and the scent of woodsmoke that often drifts from chimneys during the cooler months. It's a place where the quiet persistence of nature meets the enduring human spirit of adventure.
