Big Bear Lake, San Bernardino County

This Southern Californian destination is particularly pleasant for family getaways. The Big Bear Lake on its own is a perfect place to go hiking and explore nature, just beware that, as the name suggests, you might bump into a bear!

But it’s also a great skiing destination. The nearby Snow Summit is a hotspot for visitors that need to feel the wind in their hair… though we advise you wear protective gear!

The alpine tree and mountain trails near here will make you want to pop down a tent and spend days upon days in the heart of nature!
