Big Bear and the surrounding areas offer extensive hiking for all ability levels.
Beautiful scenery, interpretive trails, family-friendly walks and scenic vistas, there’s something for everyone.
Home to hundreds of miles of hiking trails, Big Bear is truly a hikers dream. There are trails available for every activity level, from the paved Alpine Walking & Pedal Path along Big Bear Lake’s north shore, to the steep Castle Rock trail, ending at a giant granite monolith.
Castle Rock can be climbed on one side without equipment, and on the other side, there are a few class 5.12 climbs. Once at the top the view of the lake and valley are amazing. In summer Snow Summit Ski Resort also provides a chairlift ride to the top so even the most inexperienced hikers can take in the views from the ridge.
