Lancaster is a quiet city, separated from the bright lights of LA by the peaks of the Los Angeles National Forest.

As with many destinations in LA County, renting a car is an essential part of a trip here. Grab a deal on the car of your choice through Orbitz, then start exploring the Mojave Desert, the nearby cities, and the family-friendly attractions of the region.
