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.
