Trail Report: Big Bear 7/16 & 7/17

[FishPOET]

Tracy wanted a weekend in Big Bear. We left Norco at 6:30pm on Friday night. Once up the hill we headed for YP30 only to find it occupied. We found a turnout about 1 mile away and stopped for the night.

Snow Plant


IMO the North facing slope South of Big Bear Lake is AMAZING. Cool topography and geology around every corner. And the views aren't half bad either.

1/4 mile walk from YP30 to this view.




Sunset. 1/4 mile walk from YP30 to this view. The road cut in the distance is the Arctic Circle section of Hwy 18.


I like a good fire The benefit of a Yellow Post site over dispersed camping.
