About
Big Bear
Hidden
in a valley high in the San Bernardino Mountains of
Southern California is the community of Big
Bear. Within two hours of both San Diego
and Los Angeles, this mountain venue is surrounded
by thousands of acres of national forest and offers
a plethora of recreational options. A visit to the
mountains presents an opportunity to vacation, relax
and play in a pristine natural setting. At
an altitude of nearly 7,000' and surrounded by mountain
peaks, the communities of Big Bear Lake, Big Bear City
and Fawnskin hug the shores of a seven mile alpine
lake. These unique small-town communities provide food,
lodging and entertainment for thousands of visitors
annually.
Getting
back to nature, camping in
the woods, off road
driving, family hiking and picnicking are on one end
of the spectrum of possibilities for exploring the
Valley. At the other end are luxury hotels, gourmet
dining and professional theatre productions.
Pick and choose from the wide variety of options the
area has to offer and tailor a personal retreat. Come
up for the day or stay a month. Spend your time shopping
in specialty gift shops, treat yourself to the services
of a local spa or hide in the forest and never see
the inside of a building. It is all possible up here.
Best
known for hosting two of Southern California's prime ski
areas, Big Bear offers entirely different
vistas when warmer seasons return. Truly a four-season
playground, spring, summer and fall bring another set
of recreational opportunities into play. Click
