Outdoor Adventure in Big Bear
For the mom who loves the outdoors, there really is no better Mother’s Day vacation destination than Big Bear! Although Big Bear has some great winter sports, the summertime is a beautiful time to visit and enjoy the dozens of hiking trails in the area. One of the most popular trails in Big Bear is Pine Knot Trail to Grand View Point. This 6.9-mile trail is rated as moderate, making it perfect for beginners and experts alike.

This trail is used for hiking, running, horseback riding, and mountain biking so no matter what activity your mom loves, this trail is a perfect choice!
If you’re looking for a shorter hike, consider the Castle Rock Trail. At only 2.6 miles long, this hike can be completed in under two hours. This trail has some elevation gain that makes for amazing views of the lake, and it is well marked and easy to follow. Another great short trail option is the Jenks Lake Trail.
