Although the James Reserve is located in sunny Southern California, it sits at over 5,000 feet above sea level in the San Jacinto Mountains. Because of its high elevation, the James experiences all four seasons, from sunny warm, rarely hot, summer days to cold, snowy days in winter. Here is a series of photos reflecting the many modes of the James over the year.
