About Alpine, California   
  Alpine is a peaceful rural community that lies at the foothills of the Viejas Mountains. This friendly village borders the Cleveland National Forest and is only a 20 minute drive east to the mountain recreation areas of the Cuyamaca State Park and the Laguna Mountains.
  Alpine has one of the lowest crime rates and one of the best school districts. It is recognized as the Nation’s First Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. Over 100 gardens are registered Backyard Wildlife Habitats.
  Alpine is also home of the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians and their The Viejas Casino and Turf Club and Viejas Factory Outlet Center. The Viejas Casino is a premier Indian bingo and gaming center. Entertainment at the casino includes their Concerts in the Park that seat 1500 people per show.
  The Alpine Community Center provides programs for families and seniors. Many community activities are held in the Center’s Park - including Alpine Summer Concerts, Alpine Viejas Days and other service club special events.
  Alpine is also home to the Descanso, Alpine and Pacific Railroad. This is an incredible attraction with an amazing story behind it. Meet Roy Athey, your conductor as he takes you on a ride in his backyard on an actual real scale train. With the help of some good friends he rebuilt the tracks, many of them of historical reverence, and on Sunday afternoons he’ll treat his guests to a fascinating adventure. Rides are free but please keep in mind that he built this out of the love of trains, educating us on rail history and showing us a good time.
  The main annual events of Alpine include the Sage and Songbird Festival in May, Alpine Viejas Western Days and Parade in September, and the Alpine Village Christmas Light Parade held on the last Saturday in November.
