Halloween, also known as “All Hallows Eve“, will occur this year on a Saturday!  You know what that means…there are going to be a TON of children trick or treating in the Village and at our Zoo!

The local merchants get together and give away candy in a central location…it keeps kids off the local streets.  Also, being a tourist community half of the houses are empty, thus not allowing a bag full of treats!  The Zoo hosts BOO! in the Zoo at the Moonridge Animal Park.  Check out their website for more info!

Whatever you choose to do, remember we have a rental just for YOU!  Give us a call at 1 (866)-37- CABIN and we will find a non-haunted house for you!

There are so many reasons to come to Big Bear for your next vacation or even for that overnight get away.

If you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, we have the best outdoor activities and plenty of sunshine to do it in!

With over 300 days of sunshine all year, there’s not a season you will be disappointed in coming. With the most scenic views around, just the drive up to Big Bear is exciting!

Climbing over 6500 feet above sea level Big Bear sits atop the beautiful San Bernardino Mountains at 6,743 feet in elevation.

Once up here you’ll have to take a drive around the lake with its 22 miles of shoreline, 7 miles in length and an average ½ mile across.

The average depth of the water is about 35 feet in the middle, and the max is 74 feet at the dam. With the heat from the city you might want to come up to cool off, our temperatures averagely fall around 80 degrees during the daytime in summer; cooling off at night with an average of 45. 

Like I mentioned before we have an array of outdoor activities for the whole family, no matter the age, there is some fun to be had in the area.

We have boat rentals: anything from a speed or pontoon boats all the way down to kayaks and canoes. If you don’t want to drive that boat yourself, you can always hop on one of the many rides or tours we have to offer.

What’s that you say, you want to soar above the lake?! You can do that too! Take a parasailing ride and you can fly high above the lake, with the most breathtaking views possible.

You may be looking for a little adventure and if you are there are many ways to explore our forest! You could start by taking a horseback ride, or forget the horse and just take a relaxing hike.

You could take a ride on the scenic Summit Sky Chair to the top of the ski resort where, in the summer, you are able to hike around, down or atop the mountain. Either way you can find a trail that’s right for you.

Maybe you don’t want to hike in the forest, but drive instead. We have Off Road Adventures to take you on a guided tour around to some of the coolest spots. With lots of history, interesting facts and stunning views you’ll be amazed.

You don’t have to take the guided tour; you might choose to do the “Self Guided Tour” through the Holcomb Valley. Just stop off at the Discovery Center for a brochure guide. With the locations mapped out for you and the total mileage between each spot there’s no way to get lost and you’re bound to have some sort of fun!

While you’re there at the Discovery Center shop around for some kick knacks and mementos, and if you happened to get hungry you could stop by the little café they have inside too! They have a wealth of information about the plant and wildlife found indigenous to this area. You don’t want to forget any parking passes, permits or maps while there, they have it all. From the hiking and biking trail maps, to camping information this is the spot to get it.

For the cheapest lodging deals and specials on the mountain you can visit US, Gold Rush Resort Rentals. At 40016 Big Bear Blvd.

Enjoy and we hope to see you soon!

Ok, let’s just say I am obsessed with flowers, fishing, geocaching, and reading.  It may seem that all my Blogs focus on the same stuff.  So, why change, it works for me!
One of our local garden clubs, “A” Garden Club of Big Bear Valley is holding their annual Plant Sale.  Sure, they will have Garden decorations too.  The event will be held THIS  Saturday, Aug. 1, 2009.
The sale this year will be held at 437 West Meadow Lane in Big Bear City.  It will be held from 9:00 am until 1:oo pm.
For more ”A” Garden Club  information,  please call Vicky Roney at 909-866-9817.

Why not rent a cabin and head on up in the hills,  it is soooooo much cooler up here!  I will be happy to rent you a place.  Gold Rush Resort Rentals    www.bigbearrentals.net    1-(866)37-CABIN

Are you planning a trip to Big Bear with your kids and are not too sure what to do?

Well, let me tell you some of my favorite kid-friendly and kid-fun things to do in this great town. The Moonridge Zoo is a great place to go for all ages, and they offer pony rides for the little ones.

Another fun place is the Bowling Barn, an exciting atmosphere, the whole family can enjoy.

There is also the Baldwin Lake Stables, where you can have a horseback riding adventure. You can feed the ducks, make smores, and tell ghost stories; the possibilities are endless.

Oh, and don’t forget to go to the Discovery Center, I am sure your kids will have a blast learning from the knowledgable workers there about the nature that surrounds us here in Big Bear.
