If you want a mountain drive with a super view ... check it out. Be properly prepaired for off roar driving. But most cars with off road safety are clear to go.

The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is a rehabilitation facility offering injured, orphaned and imprinted wild animals a safe haven; temporarily while they heal or permanently as they are unable to survive on their own.We are extremely proud that 90% of all the animals brought to us for rehabilitation are successfully released back into their native environment.Those that remain with us on exhibit are either too injured or have been imprinted by humans and can not be released back into the wild to care for themselves.

You'll need some 'Rock scrambling' skills if you want to go to the very top of the big boulders at the end this hike, but it is so worth it. We went with a total of 6 family members including kids aged 12, 13, and 16. Make sure to wear good hiking shoes if you plan on doing some rock scrambling. I was not aware that we were doing rock scrambling, so I only wore regular sneakers, but still made it to the top with a few helping hands. Hikers and climbers at the top were very friendly to help each other , especially when there was a sudden thunderstorm when we were ready to climb down from the boulders. You can still see a great view of the beautiful lake on the trial near the top. It's an easy one mile hike with the boulders at the very top. It's a challenging hike if you want to try rock scrambling for the first time and such a rewarding experience on top.

We had a lovely 2 1/2 mile ride right next to Big Bear Lake. The well maintained and smooth path took us through a beautiful natural areas with lovely trees and singing birds. This is beginner level biking which was nice for leisurely sight seeing. There are a number of picnic table just off the bike path near the water that would make for a nice scenic bike ride with a picnic near the north side of the lake.

We did this hike with an inexperienced hiker who was not in the best of shape, but he managed just fine. There are lots of things to see along the way and the climb isn't too bad. Near the top, their are lots of benches too sit and take in the view and have some peace and quiet. We started our hike around 4pm and were all alone on the trail. Got to see the sunset and got down before visibility became and issue.
