I've been an outdoor adventure guide in Big Bear for the last five years. I've been exploring all the best hiking trails in the Big Bear Valley for the last 20 years. It's hard to find an easy hike in Big Bear; A lot of trails are steep and hard for little kids. This trail is actually stroller-friendly also, which you can not say about a lot of hiking trails in the mountain communities. I love the peace and solitude of this trail in the woods. It's hiked mostly by locals who live in this neighborhood and is not a tourist spot. I personally love to share the local history around the Big Bear Valley. I really enjoy pointing out different flora and fauna to my younger guests and teaching them how interesting nature can be like the wild native insects we might see on the trails

Q&A

Q: Is the hike suitable for a 5-year-old and do they provide strollers?

A: Yes! This hike is perfect for young kids, especially since it’s stroller-friendly. Amber is great with kids and makes it fun by sharing interesting facts about the local wildlife. Just bring a light jacket since it can get chilly in the mornings.

Q: What should we wear for the hike? Is it muddy?

A: Comfortable hiking shoes are a must! The trail is usually pretty dry, but after rain, it can get muddy in spots. Dress in layers, too, because it can warm up quickly once the sun's out. Amber will make sure everyone is comfy and safe!

Q: Can this hike be rescheduled if the weather's bad?

A: Absolutely! If the weather looks bad, just reach out to Amber, and she’ll work with you to find a new date. She’s super flexible and wants everyone to enjoy the experience. Just a heads up, some days do book up quickly!

Thinking of gifting the Big Bear hike experience! Worth it?

I’m considering gifting the Family-Friendly Nature Hike for my sister and her kids. I love that it’s stroller-friendly and that Amber focuses on local history and nature. My niece is 5, so this sounds perfect! Anyone done this? How was it?

Anyone else love the Big Bear Valley hike?

I just got back from the Family-Friendly Nature Hike and it was awesome! Amber is such a cool guide. She made everything interesting for the kids and the lemonade was a nice touch. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for something fun to do with the fam!
