• 5We had a great time! I...

  We had a great time! I grew up spending summer vacations in Big Bear but she showed us an area of Big Bear I didn’t even know about! It was fun and relaxing.

• 5Picturesque off roding excursion w/ local pro Amber

  Amber was just terrific on so many levels—the clear communication, the quality of the homemade food she prepared that was tailored to our needs/wants, her extensive knowledge of the area’s prolific plants, anthropological history, and community events, etc. In short, she took me, my wife, 9-year old, & dog all along dirt road trails that offered scintillating views of the lake, trees, plants, etc. Then, having arranged a tasty charcuterie platter for us, she led us to a perfect, quiet spot with a splendid view, where we just chilled out and took in the lovely scenery. I would have no hesitation in giving her my highest recommendation as a knowledgeable and professional tour guide whether you are an avid trekker or group that seeks a local, savvy guide for a rigorous, multi-mile hike or simply want to get a visually pleasing perspective of Big Bear Lake on a brief off-roding trip for a couple of hours. Thanks, Amber!

• 5A nice day trip

  This was a very pleasant, informative trip through the woods of Big Bear. I would definitely recommend it to people who want to see the area without having to do a lot of walking. Our guide, Amber, was very knowledgeable and pleasant and she prepared a lovely charcuterie lunch for us to enjoy in the woods.

About Big Bear

Big Bear is a pine-forest resort town on a mountain lake in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California, popular for skiing, hiking and boating.

Big Bear Lake lies at about 2,000 metres in an alpine valley of the San Bernardino Mountains, ringed by pine and fir. Big Bear Village, with its Alpine-style shops and restaurants, stands on the south shore. The Rim of the World Scenic Byway climbs to the valley from the lowlands, and a gold rush in the 1860s opened the nearby Holcomb Valley.
