Memorial Day Weekend is shaping up to be a popular time to explore Big Bear's trails, with hiking highlighted as a featured activity across the valley this holiday[1].
Whether you're a year-round resident or welcoming guests from the lowlands, the area's extensive trail network — from alpine meadows to ridge-top views — offers something for every fitness level.
Before you go: Trail conditions, parking availability, and recommended safety practices for the expected holiday crowds could not be confirmed at press time. Big Bear News reached out to the San Bernardino National Forest Service and local outfitters for comment but had not received a response before publication. Hikers are encouraged to check the San Bernardino National Forest website or call the Big Bear Discovery Center for up-to-date trail conditions and any holiday-weekend advisories.
Leave No Trace principles apply on all national forest trails. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and let someone know your planned route.
