Big Bear Vacations Staff - 
The staff at Big Bear Vacations set out to experience some of the activities that Big Bear Lake has to offer:

Cherie’s Pick of the Day 
#26. Walk the Alpine Pedal Path

Alpine Pedal Path is a 2 1/2 mile blacktop trail that follows the shoreline on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake.  It passes through forest and meadows.  A nice easy trail for walking, biking, skating, or strollers.  Bring fido along!  It’s “Pet Friendly”.  Pack a lunch and picnic at one of the many lakeside picnic areas.

Zaira’s Pick of the Day 
#36. Sing Karaoke at Murrays
Murray’s is a local favorite. The regulars will cheer you on and serenade you with hilarious re-writes of popular songs. Try Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats” and you will hear the “man’s response” version. Not a big singer? There is plenty of liquid courage to give you that boost you need.

Janice’s Pick of the Day 
#56 Snow Tube at Magic Mountain
Never have I had such a great time in the snow!  Not being the greatest on the ski slope, I really fall back on sledding for my winter sports.  I usually would go out to an open hillside, mark my path, and sled until I wore myself out.  This time I decided to give the Magic Mountain sledding slopes a try.  I went with my family, and stayed all day long.  The lift carpets were the best, it allowed enough rest time for the next slide down.  I had to tote the inner tube with me along the way, but it made a great rest cushion when I really needed to take a break and sit down as I traveled up again and again.  All of us in our group were able to hold hands together while sliding down the hill.  It was remarkably fun for the whole family.  We could not stop laughing from the excitement of speeding down that snowy bank.  There’s something about those inner tubes, they really catch speed.  Sometimes they would twist and turn backwards on us switching up the whole down ward experience.  Out of all the sledding we did, we all felt safe, but thrilled, no one got hurt, and we went home with the best pictures and memories yet!

Kristy’s Pick of the Day 
#48 Enjoy a pizza sized Pancake at Grizzly Manor
And when they say pizza sized, they mean it! They don't make plates big enough to contain the massive size of the pancakes. Not only are these pancakes huge, they are delicious! Get a short stack (2 pancakes) one blueberry and one chocolate chip! And don't be discouraged when you can't finish it all! 

Wendy’s’s Pick of the Day 
#5 Go Fishing

Fishing in Big Bear is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the sunshine.
There are plenty of places on the shores of Big Bear Lake to toss in your line and have
a great time with your family.
The fish bite all year long, but if you are coming in the winter make sure to bring your
Parka, it could get a little chilly.

Kassie’s Pick of the Day 
#57. Build a Snowman
Building a snowman in Big Bear is something timeless and fun you can do every year. What’s more fun is if you challenge others in your party to make snow people replicas of each other! Then you can have a fun little snow museum of your friends and family! That’s better than any wax museum! Take funny pictures of you and your snow person clone!
