During the fall or winter months, stop by Big Bear Snow Play for a day of outdoor fun! Choose from the Big Bear Speedway or the ski hill at this family-friendly outdoor attraction. In the coldest months you can fly down through the powder on a tube at Big Bear Snow Play. There might be natural snow blanketing the ground, but if there isn’t, don’t worry! As long as it is cold enough, Big Bear Snow Play can make plenty of fluffy snow to cover what was formerly known as Rebel Ridge. The hill sports some of the longest runs in Southern California. The best part is that you can enjoy all the fun of the length without having to worry about trekking back up the hill, thanks to the two magic carpet lifts. One of the lifts is covered with clear tunnels, making for a fun, futuristic-looking ride.

Although people may be most familiar with nearby Big Bear, the town of Fawnskin is a short drive away and a truly delightful place to visit. Head to Fawn Park in downtown Fawnskin for a leisurely stroll through a peaceful setting. It's delightfully old fashioned in every way. You'll find great restaurants and plenty of outdoorsy destinations to enjoy while you're here. Peaceful nature hikes and walking trails are one more reason to adore Fawnskin while soaking up that fresh mountain air. One of the greatest ones is the Gray's Peak Trail. It's a magnificent hike all year long, but the colorful leaves in the autumn season are always a delight to see.
For those who love spending as much time outdoors as possible, you won't want to miss a visit to Captain John's Fawn Harbor and Marina where you can rent boats, kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards.

Hike to the top of one of the most gorgeous views of America. It’s a relatively short path with just 1.3 miles of length, but it is rather challenging due to the steepness and rocky terrain. In the first half-mile, there’s 500 feet of elevation. You can ride a horse, mountain bike or hike your way up.
