The holiday season is an extra special time at Big Bear for those that prefer a traditional snowy Christmas, and the lengthy summers are overflowing with outdoor activity everywhere you roam. Warm, inviting, comfortable, and without the usual tourist trappings, Big Bear Lake is the ultimate mountain escape right in the heart of Southern California.
