    Very beautiful, but more for bikers than hiking. There were a lot of bikers causing us to move out of the way.

    This was one of the most unique and incredible experiences…read more I found Selena on AirBnB Experiences and after reading the reviews knew I had to participate in Forest Bathing. We met at a public parking lot and she drove us in her SUV up into the mountains, to her secret spot in the forest. She provided lots of interesting, educational info along the 15 minute drive. Once we arrived, the experience started. She guided a moderate hike into the forest, showing us all of her favorite things. Fresh water brooks, waterfalls, unique, bold, and beautiful trees. The hike was fairly moderate, Indian Jones-esq at times, nothing too crazy, but not easy. As a plus size/not very active girl, I was able to do it. My 62 year old mom kept up fairly well too! Selena took lots of short breaks for us to catch our breath (elevation for flatlanders is rough!), gave us lots of educational info about what we were seeing, smelling, and hearing. She even provided us with a few edible plants along the way. The hike up to the fresh water source was truly spectacular. Once there we emptied our water bottles and filled them with the ice cold fresh water and guzzled it down. So crisp and clean and YUM! The hike back was just as refreshing. We then spent some time wind bathing, cutting chords, and energy healing, followed by 35 minutes of quiet time meandering the forest on our own. Afterwards we drank a fresh brewed tea Selena had made using ingredients she collected along our hike, and some healthy snacks and more fresh water, which she provided. It was 3 hours of really amazing, energizing, active, relaxing, healing Forest Bathing and for $40pp it was well worth it!

    First, on a Sunday afternoon at the end of October, no parking by noon. My second reason for…read moreremoving a star is that the "female" restroom was out of order, the "male" restroom didn't have a trash can (which I understand, partly, being in the forest). But why have a girls and boys restroom, why not just two bathrooms. And the last reason I kept a star, only one trash reciprocal in the entire parking lot. I believe we should continue to encourage Visitors to "pack it in, pack it out" plus some. How do we do that if we expect then to put it in their car and take it with them? Trailhead has a very descriptive sign, provides lots of good information. Trail is 6.4 miles, 1,174 altitude gain (out/back), dogs allowed on lead, near Fawnskin. This trail offers AMAZING views of Big Bear Lake, bikes also share the trail. (Dog bags provided at trailhead, pls pick up after yourself, and your doggie;) There's so much to explore, get up, and get out there.

    A nice escape, I think it's probably less-trafficked because it's on the North Shore (away from the…read moremain crowds) and a bit away from the Discovery Center. At the top is a rock outcropping where you can get a good view of the lake, albeit partially obstructed. I saw a cinnamon-furred black bear near the top the last time I hiked (June 27, 2017 around 6:15pm), so be on the lookout, keep your distance, and make your presence know (I stomped my feet, and he took notice and slowly went about his business in a different direction than where I was). July 13, 2017: did an evening hike and saw 2 deer, along with a pair of yellow eyes and green eyes (more deer?) at night, and three scorpions along the trail. You will need an Adventure Pass to park in the lot, but alternatively you can park along the road (a good spot is by the Eagle habitat warning sign).

    This is a simple, beginner-friendly trail that's perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy a "hike"…read morewithout venturing into the deep wilderness or breaking much of a sweat. It's essentially a 1.5-mile loop in a pleasant forest setting - nice enough scenery, but as far as mountain trails go, don't expect anything too amazing. That said, it serves its purpose well. It's easy to walk, reasonably well maintained, and accessible for just about anyone. The trail is mostly level with only minor uphill and downhill sections, so there's no real elevation gain to speak of. Since it's so short, you're never far from the parking lot or the highway around Big Bear Lake, which is right there, so it feels very safe and low-commitment. This is a decent option for families with young kids, older folks, or anyone just looking to stretch their legs and get a little fresh air after being cooped up in the car. It won't challenge experienced hikers, but if you're in the Big Bear area and want to take a quick, easy stroll through the trees, it scratches that itch nicely. 3.79 stars rounded up to 4.

    The Woodland trail is about 1.5 mile loop with some lookout points…read more When it is cold outside and a lot of the trails have frozen patches including the woodland trail. The difference is that this trail is relatively flat and it's hard to skid. Parking out front and you must bring your parks pass or buy a day pass. The National Parks pass also works. They do come in the lots and check for a pass. Park on the street at your own risk. People tend to speed when they can out there. There is also a bathroom at the parking lot too. It's not a bad hike at all and easy to do.
