Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm

Google Map to Tehachapi Pass Wind Farm: 301 mi – about 5 hours 0 mins

The east and south area of the Tehachapi Pass has one of California's larger Wind farms, generating electricity. The turbines have been in place since the early 1980s and have been upgraded through the years. The original wind turbines were much smaller than the much taller and larger new version turbines now sited for use. They are easily seen from State Route 58 and from Tehachapi-Willow Springs Road.
