What people say

Raven Patzke
"Though Big Bear is a small city, it’s probably one of the most well-known day trips from Los Angeles. In the winter, you can hit the slopes with your favorite people and in the summer, you can hike and beach, though there won’t be any lifeguards on duty. Despite both of these features, the best time to visit Big Bear is actually in the spring when the weather is just starting to warm up and the crowds aren’t in full swing yet."
