Best Things to Do in Big Bear Lake, California: [

Best Things to Do in Big Bear Lake, California: [Save this reel for your next visit!] Big Bear is a popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, but there’s also plenty more to do here year-round! Here’s a quick guide for some of the best things to do in BB: HIKING
There’s no shortage of hiking options around Big Bear Lake! Some of the most popular trails are:
- Castle Rock Trail (pictured)
- Pine Knot Trail
- Woodland Trail
- Cougar Crest Trail BIKE ALONG ALPINE PEDAL PATH
Rent bikes and spend the afternoon peddling along the lake on the Alpine Pedal Path! The trail is paved and stretches for 3 miles, and also passes by the Big Bear Solar Observatory and the Big Bear Discovery Center. RIDE DOWN THE ALPINE SLIDE - @alpineslidebigbear
Big Bear’s Alpine Slide at Magic Mountain is a cross between an outdoor slide and a rollercoaster! Riders take a ski lift to the top and get to control the speed going down, and a single ride only costs $9.
There’s also a variety of other attractions here, including the Soaring Eagle (which is similar to zip lining except you’re sitting in a chair), and the Mine Shaft Coaster, which more closely resembles a rollercoaster. HAVE A PICNIC AT BOULDER BAY PARK
Boulder Bay Park is well-maintained and has beautiful views of the mountains right along the lake. Spend an afternoon here having a picnic, or get out on the water for boating, kayaking or canoeing. You can read my complete guide for the 15 Best Things to Do in Big Bear Lake, California up on the blog!

“Nature literally has the power to heal. By slowing down and letting yourself notice the smell, sound, and feel of nature, you become present, aware, and often experience less stress. You become unbusy.” 🌲✨

If you had asked me around this time last year if

If you had asked me around this time last year if I would ever consider solo road trips, hiking & car camping, the answer would have probably been no. Before the pandemic my solo travels consisted of hopping on a plane and staying in hotels/hostels/Airbnbs, always surrounded by other humans, and connected to wifi. But this past year really pushed me to step further out of my comfort zone and try a whole new level of solo traveling. I’ve been on a road trip kick ever since and plan on exploring more national parks and adventuring through California. Still warming up to the solo hiking & car camping part, but I’m always down for an adventure. And wherever I end up you already know you’re all coming along for the ride 😉🚙 To all the new faces here - Welcome! And thank you for following along on the journey 🤗 I love connecting with you guys and have already met so many awesome humans who are doing the same things. I’m still sharing the adventures from this past weekend’s girls trip in Big Bear in stories, but was thinking about doing another Q&A there after - it’s been a minute! Feel free to leave any questions you may have for me in the comments ⤵︎ & follow along at @wanderfullyrylie for my latest adventures ✨ #roadtripadventures #adventureseekers #nomadgirls

⚲ McWay Falls | Big Sur, California 🌊✨ McW

⚲ McWay Falls | Big Sur, California 🌊✨ McWay Falls is a unique and rare waterfall that flows directly onto the beach - one of the only 2 in California! Here’s what you need to know for visiting this iconic spot in Big Sur [SAVE THIS POST FOR LATER]: - McWay Falls is located in Pfeiffer Burns State Park. Parking at the trailhead is limited and costs $10. - From the parking lot it’s a quick and easy 10 minute hike to the falls. (It’s more of a stroll than a hike.) - We visited during the day on our drive back home from Big Sur, but if you can I recommend going for the sunrise or sunset! - As of our visit, this trail is closed at the halfway point due to erosion. But still leads you to this ↟ beautiful view of the falls. (This photo was taken right at the gate blocking the rest of the trail.) Have you checked McWay Falls off your bucketlist? #mcwayfalls #bigsur #californiaroadtrip
