Tehachapi is a scenic mountain town with a lively small‑town vibe—cafés, breweries, an arts scene and the famous Tehachapi Loop—perfect for travel therapists who want a comfortable, walkable base. Outdoor options like hiking, mountain biking, local wineries and striking wind‑farm vistas make it an engaging place to spend multiple weeks rather than somewhere that “has nothing going on.”
For bigger‑city needs, Bakersfield and the Antelope Valley (Lancaster/Palmdale) are within about an hour’s drive and offer larger hospitals, shopping, and an airport for easy travel.
