This quiet little mountain town, just an hour east of Bakersfield, has an international reputation in whitewater rafting circles. Home to some of the best rapids in the state, Kernville attracts kayak and rafting enthusiasts from all over the globe. And after a long day on the Kern River, nothing goes down better than a cold glass of hand-crafted beer and good food from the Kern River Brewing Co. Plan your wintertime visit for Presidents Day weekend and enjoy Whiskey Flat Days, Kernville’s 55-year-old annual festival to celebrate its Wild West and California Gold Rush roots. It is great family fun.

L Luigi’s
With a storied history dating back to 1910, an era of horse-drawn carriages, cable cars and rapid civic growth, Luigi’s Delicatessen and Restaurant has been a Bakersfield institution for generations. Walls covered with decades of local sports photos and memorabilia, part of Louis “Luigi� Lemucchi’s extensive collection, Luigi’s has been serving lunch to Bakersfield for more than 100 years. The menu is filled with traditional Italian fare like the half & half (pasta with meat sauce and Luigi’s Italian beans) and the red & white (pasta bolognese and spaghetti with butter, parsley, garlic and parmesan cheese), but the daily specials are the biggest attraction. Lasagna on Wednesdays, steak and pasta Fridays and the burgers on Saturdays always pack the house. Be sure to get there early!
