The Most Optimal Tree Climbing in Big Bear

Start off your Big Bear summer activities right with a tree climbing journey and by finding a reputable tree climbing guide service. The most popular charter service in the area happens to be through Action Tours. As one of the only tree rope climbing tours in Southern California, this invigorating tour will immerse you in the tranquil and breathtaking scenery of the treetops surrounding Big Bear Lake.
Tours run from April through November, and begin with signing a release form and making sure that you and your party will meet the requirements for the excursion. You should wear comfortable clothing that will be appropriate for Big Bear outdoor activities, take into consideration the weather you’ll be facing during the tour, as these tours run in nearly all weather excepting high winds, lightning, and falling snow.
Long pants, closed-toe hiking shoes (preferably boots), security straps for any eyeglasses or sunglasses, and hair ties for long hair (which should also be braided) are required. Participants should also forego any dangling jewelry, such as bracelets or necklaces, and anything that attaches to your belt loop, such as wallets, pagers, and cell phones. These items can be stored in on-site storage lockers during the tour.
Once you’ve met these requirements, you’ll then learn how to properly climb Big Bear’s enormous trees using a rope and harness!
This Big Bear summer activity is family-friendly for kids aged twelve years and older, making it an ideal choice for family vacations with your teenager or pre-teen. It’s even fun for a group of adults looking for awesome things to do in Big Bear Lake.
