There are numerous ways to enter Upland, be it by air, rail, car, bus, or bike.
-
By plane
Upland lies just northwest of [wiki=d5786d74f02ef3cbbe2721a9136d29a5#By plane]LA/Ontario International Airport (ONT)[/wiki], in [wiki=ce8de748018ea4dfca39160be8e3c2d5]Ontario[/wiki] and accessible via the San Bernardino (I-10) Freeway.
The city is also home to Cable Airport, privately-owned, said to be the largest of its kind in the world.
-
By train
Amtrak, the national rail service, serves [wiki=ce8de748018ea4dfca39160be8e3c2d5]Ontario[/wiki] just to the south of the city. Metrolink, a commuter rail service serving the greater Los Angeles area, has a stop in downtown Upland at 1st Avenue and 'A' Street, just off Euclid Avenue. The stop is on the San Bernardino line, one of the busiest, that connects Union Station in downtown Los Angeles to San Bernardino (limited weekend service available).
-
By car
Interstate 10 and State Route 210 both cross Upland in an east-west direction, providing links to Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Foothill Boulevard (State Route 66) also crosses through the center of the city. Euclid Avenue (State Route 83) is the main north-south route through the city and heads south to Chino and the Chino Valley (State Route 71) Freeway or north towards the community of Mount Baldy. Note that there is no direct interchange between Euclid Avenue and the Foothill (210) Freeway.
-
By bus
Omnitrans[http://www.omnitrans.org/] is the Inland Valley's main bus line and serves Upland with several routes, primarily bus routes 66 and 83. Bus route 66 links up with the Montclair Transit Center, which hosts Metrolink and many buses from central Los Angeles and will one day include a stop on the Metro Gold Line light rail extension.
-
By bike
Upland lies along the path of the former Pacific Electric Railway, now used as a freshly-paved pedestrian and bike path connecting nearby Montclair to Rancho Cucamonga .
-
Upland is a fairly small city and the main sights are accessible by foot if arriving into town without a car at the Metrolink station. However, note that Upland's location at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains creates a general north-south slope that makes walking north a bit more difficult on hotter days.
-
By car
Upland is a very automobile-friendly city, with wide streets and plentiful parking. Consider leaving your car in downtown Upland (be aware of time limits) and exploring the area on foot. If heading north to Mount Baldy, be aware of road conditions in advance as winter snows may require chains.
-
By bus
The city is served by Omitrans, a bus system that serves the Inland Valley region. Routes 63, 66, 67, 68, and 83 all traverse the city and stop at many major sights.
-
By bike
Many of Upland streets and wide boulevards, including Euclid Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, have bike lanes. The Pacific Electric Bike Trail is another great way to get around on a separate right-of-way. Upland has several bike repair facilities, many of which are in or around downtown.
-
By foot
A great way to see Upland is by foot. Leave your car in downtown and stroll about the historic core of the city. Or, consider walking on the median dirt path on Euclid Avenue from Foothill Boulevard north towards the mountains.
-
Because of the city's relatively old age when compared with neighboring towns, Upland is home to a wealth of historic homes and landmarks.
*One of many Madonna of the Trail statues that commemorate American pioneer women, the one in Upland is located at the busy intersection of historic route 66 and Euclid Avenue. The monument was dedicated in 1929 and contains inscriptions that honors Jedediah Smith's 1826 crossing of the area in search of a westward-flowing river.
*The main north-south artery in the area was originally laid out by the Chaffey Brothers in the mid 1800s. Today, it is a wide, tree-lined boulevard that links Chino with San Antonio Heights. Originally, a trolley car ran in the median and connected residents in San Antonio Heights with jobs in Ontario. Today, the median is home to a dirt path from Foothill Boulevard north to San Antonio Heights, and park space in downtown Ontario.
*Both Upland and the nearby unincorporated San Antonio Heights to the north are home to a wealth of historic properties that sprang up in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many are open for tours; consult the local chamber of commerce for more information.
-
Leave your car at the cul-de-sac at the east end of 24th street in northern Upland and stroll along Cucamonga Wash along the trail. Benches, provided by the San Antonio Heights Association, line the trail. In wet years, Cucamonga Creek flows out of Cucamonga Canyon to the dam at the south end of Cucamonga Wash.
*Historic [wiki=afc926afd6ed6c27f102d1f4e46b94e6]Route 66[/wiki], today's Foothill Boulevard, passed through Upland en route to San Bernardino or Santa Monica. Today, the stretch contains an interesting mix of old and new and is seeing a revival with new businesses and street improvements.
*Downtown Upland is the historic core of the city, just off Euclid Avenue on 2nd Avenue. Today, the area is seeing a revival as more specialty shops are locating to the area. Downtown is also home to an evening market on Thursday nights during the summer, and the annual Lemon Festival in April.
*Consider spending a morning walking up and down the median of Euclid Avenue north of Foothill Boulevard, gazing at the unique homes and enjoying the shade of trees and company of other hikers heading up towards San Antonio Heights.

Although Upland is primarily a residential community, many neat stores can be found along Foothill Boulevard or in downtown. For those who prefer larger-scale shopping centers, the Colonies Crossroads at Campus Ave and the Foothill (210) Fwy offers many big-box stores. Nearby, Montclair hosts the Montclair Plaza (Nordstrom's, Macy's, Sears), Ontario hosts Ontario Mills (one of the largest outlet malls in the state), and Rancho Cucamonga hosts Victoria Gardens, an upscale outdoor mall with a classic "Main Street" theme.
-
Given Upland's relatively quiet character as a residential city, it is unusual that it hosts a multitude of restaurants that cover many ethnic cuisines. The list below is just a sample of what one can find in the city.
*Mi Ranchito serves close-to authentic Mexican food at good prices. This spot is a favorite among locals.

*Legend's is a classic diner-style fast food restaurant with multiple locations in the Foothill Communities. The original location is here. Large combo platters and classic American foods make this place popular among locals.
*Jim's has been serving great burgers and sandwiches for years. A faithful clientel has kept the restaurant in business in the face of a boom in fast-food in the area.
*Great German food and pastries are to be found at this small establishment. Friendly staff and an extensive menu make this place a must for any Upland visitor.
*New York Pizza Company offers authentic New York style pizzas, pizza by the slice, pastas, salads, monster subs, handcrafted burgers, and irresistible desserts. Sit-Down, Take-Out, Express Delivery, and Catering!
