This is the view looking south across High Country West.  I-15 runs south along the left side to Camino Del Norte and beyond.  Turtleback Lane curves around the bottom of the photo (in the shape of a turtle’s back).  The square object in the center of the photo is the Rancho Bernardo water reservoir.  It receives water from Miramar Lake and supplies Rancho Bernardo.

See the Reservoir Rehabilitation Project, completed in 2008.

This view looks to the southwest across High Country West.  I-15 is in the lower left hand corner.  Bernardo Center Drive runs across the upper right hand corner to Camino Del Norte.  A corner of the Rancho Bernardo Business Park can be seen in the upper right.  In another year, the new extension of Bernardo Center Drive will become Carmel Valley Road near Black Mountain. Camino Bernardo and Rancho Penasquitos can be seen in the background.

This is High Country West from Bernardo Center Drive at Camino del Norte. The RB Business Park is lower left. HCW Plaza and "Turtleback Bridge" are lower center. Turtleback School is right of center, just below the HCW Club. "The Falls" at Camino Bernardo is at the lower right. NB I-15 runs right to left, with Mount Woodson in the background. The roads at the bottom will soon extend beyond 4S Ranch into Carmel Valley.

We're looking southeast across High Country West, with SB I-15 top left. Turtleback Ln curves around the lower left, with Turtleback Ct the cul-de-sac at the bottom.  They form the picture of a turtle's back and head. Cloudcrest Dr, Turtleback Rd, and Big Springs Way can also be seen. The square at the upper center is the Rancho Bernardo Water Reservoir, next to the HCW soccer field. HCW includes 681 homes, HCW Club,  and Turtleback Elementary School.

This is the view of Camino Del Norte running west from I-15 towards 4S Ranch.
I-15 can be seen at the bottom. Camino Bernardo, The Villas apartments, and The Falls can all be seen to the left of Camino Del Norte. High Country West is to the right of Camino Del Norte, and Turtleback School is in the picture. 4S Ranch is in the background on the left. The RB Business Park is in the background on the right.

Looking from east to west across Bernardo Center Drive, High Country West is the lower half of the photo.  The RB Business Park occupies the top half of the photo.  Hewlett Packard is to the right of West Bernardo Drive, and Cloudcrest Dr enters HCW below HP. High Country West, with 681 homes, a community center, and Turtleback School, is one of RB's popular neighborhood communities. 4S Ranch is in the far background. Hewlett Packard, SONY, BAE, and SAIC are among the major employers in Rancho Bernardo.

High Country West is a community of 681 homes in Rancho Bernardo, It offers convenient access to Rancho Bernardo's businesses, schools, parks, and roads; while providing a popular community environment. The desirable Poway Unified School District includes Turtleback Elementary School, the new Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch, and Rancho Bernardo High School. The new "Turtleback Pedestrian Bridge" across Camino Del Norte is a signature of the community, near the gateways to Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, and (by April 2007) Carmel Valley Road.

The Junior Olympic sized Swimming Pool is heated and open year round.

There are three lighted tennis courts.

The High Country West Club includes two indoor racquetball courts.

The award winning Turtleback Elementary School is located in High Country West next to the HCW Community Center. The older students attend the new Oak Valley Middle School in nearby 4S Ranch and Rancho Bernardo High School.

The new "Turtleback Bridge" has quickly become a signature of the community. It carries pedestrians and bicyclists across Camino Del Norte and into the High Country West Plaza neighborhood commercial center. It connects the communities of High Country West and Camino Bernardo, and provides for a safer journey to school for students attending Turtleback Elementary or Oak Valley Middle School. Citizen input to the developers of nearby 4S Ranch ensured that this new bridge met the needs and wishes of the community.

The High Country West Annual Summer Picnic was another great success on Saturday, July 19, 2008.
