Itinerary

  1. Big Bear Lake · 120 min

    I would love for you to join me on a Big Bear local's fall colors hike! I'll meet my guests at one of a few different scenic autumn colors areas. In October & early November the fall colors are just so epic throughout the Big Bear Valley. I love to share my favorite secret trails with visitors, along with some Big Bear history & tales of what life in Big Bear is like. Wherever the fall colors are peaking on that particular day, I will lead you up the leave-covered trail & into the oak forest where you can trek through the fall colors. Most of these hikes do go uphill so it's not classified as an easy hike but if you are a beginning hiker or have kids joining us we can hike at a slow pace; Whatever pace you prefer, after all, it is your hiking experience. All these trails have amazing views of Big Bear Lake as you climb higher into the forest. We will hike as many or as few miles as you would like. I will show you a few other great photo opportunities along the way.
