Mill Creek Road - There is so much unique nature for children and families to experience in Big Bear Lake. Take a family-friendly walk with me into the woods and let me teach you and your family about our native plants and the history of the Big Bear Valley. I will explain all the different plants and trees we will see on the hike and even munch on wild plants we see growing seasonably on the trailside. I will tell you and your family stories about the animals who live in this forest, even showing your children animal tracks, owl pellets and if we see any butterflies I will teach your children the secrets to taking the best butterfly photos.
I love sharing my knowledge of this wilderness with young guests to Big Bear. As an outdoor enthusiast, I have so many tales to entertain families about our local Big Bear wildlife. If we meet any butterflies on the trail I will even give your children a quick lesson on butterfly photography!
I feel like getting kids interested in nature when they are young is a great way to influence the future generations of outdoor lovers. Big Bear Lake is a great alpine area to learn about our local plants and animals.

For half a decade, I have been guiding outdoor explorations in Big Bear. My experience in navigating Big Bear Valley’s top hiking trails spans over two decades. The majority of Big Bear’s trails tend to be demanding and are not particularly child-friendly due to their steepness. However, this particular trail is an exception as it is navigable with a stroller, a rarity amongst mountain trails. I take delight in the tranquillity and seclusion this woodland trail provides. It’s primarily traversed by locals, making it rather off-the-beaten-path and not touristy. I find pleasure in imparting knowledge about Big Bear Valley’s local history to those who join my tours. I also take delight in pointing out various native plants and animals to my younger guests, educating them about the fascinating diversity of nature, like potential encounters with indigenous insects along the paths.
