In evidenza
This is really a local's favorite hike in Big Bear that goes to one of the least known scenic lake viewpoints in Big Bear. What is the best time to do after a sweaty summertime hike? Swim off a dock in the beautiful Big Bear Lake Harbor! The lake water is actually warmer to swim here than in the middle of the lake. One thing a lot of travelers don't know, if you rent a boat on Big Bear Lake (Very pricy) you can not swim off the rental boats. This is a great summertime experience after a hike on a hot day to get to cool off in alpine Big Bear Lake If my guests would like to picnic off the boat afterwards they can bring lunch, beer, drinks. I will bring an ice chest for them to put their lunch in while we are hiking. I will even walk to a nearby fantastic restaurant in the village (As a foodie, I know all the best restaurants in Big Bear) & pickup to-go lunches for my hikers to enjoy on the boat after the hike if requested (For this service, hikers must Venmo me to pay for their meals)

5Perfect start to a hot summer’s day.
Amber was the perfect guide for our family, especially our inquisitive son. She shared about mountain vegetation and the local trails.
5Beautiful scenery and a wonderful guide!
We came up to Big Bear from Palm Desert and wanted to hike but didn't want to go alone. Amber is an excellent guide and has a wealth of local knowledge. The hiking trail was absolutely gorgeous and halfway through we had a stunning view of the lake!
5Nature and It's Beauty
While trying to decide on the type of hiking experience my family and I wanted to do while in Big Bear, I came across the Hungry Mountaineer website. Amber was very helpful and communicative in helping us plan. She took us on a hike that most tourist would not be able to get to unless you know the area. It was an easy hike and Amber educated us on the plethora of plants, trees, butterflies, and birds along the way. The hike takes you to an area overlooking Big Bear Lake and the views were incredible. After the hike, we drove a short distance to Pine Knot Marina where Amber's boat is docked. Being on the boat was very relaxing and the cool breeze on the lake was enjoyable. We had a charcuterie platter and added on two salads that were delicious which Amber curated herself using fresh ingredients, some from her garden. We were hoping for a longer hike and less time on the boat but regardless, it was a memorable experience, and Amber was a wonderful host and very friendly!
5A time to enjoy the outdoors
Amber was the best at showing us the a wonderful time possible. The hike was gentle. The boat was a nice place to have lunch and cool down. We will be coming up to Big Bear again and will definitely have Amber be our guide.
5Excellent Hike, Great All-Around Experience
Had a lovely time hiking with Amber! I booked the experience because I wanted to hike while in the area, but was unsure about doing it solo. Amber was so friendly, communicative from the start, and flexible when I had a slight change of plans. As a solo female, I felt very comfortable and safe before and during the experience. She took me on a hike that had gorgeous views both towards LA and towards Big Bear Lake. She also gave great local recommendations. It checked every box for me, and I’d definitely book with her again.
5Mountain Hike and Getaway
I enjoyed the abundance of knowledge that Amber had about the surrounding area! The picnic on a boat also makes for some great photos and relaxation time!

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.
