Adelanto, California is located in the Mojave Desert, with hot summers and mild winters. The area is characterized by low rainfall and high evaporation rates, leading to a scarcity of surface water resources. Groundwater is the primary source of water for the city, but it is also prone to contamination by naturally occurring minerals such as arsenic and fluoride. Despite the harsh climate and limited water resources, Adelanto offers a range of outdoor recreation opportunities, including hiking and camping in the nearby Mojave National Preserve, as well as off-roading and motocross at the nearby Adelanto Stadium.
