I love the little Mill Creek that parallels Hwy 38 (the backroad up to Big Bear). It's a nice place to let my dog run and splash in the creek. Longer drive but I prefer it due to less traffic.

A sharp, steep ascent gives way to some great views and craggy rock formations that you can scramble up. Bring good hiking shoes for this one!

A simple, flat and short hike just north of the lake and easy to access. There's even a boulder formation that my dog and I like to climb up. Don't forget your Adventure Pass for parking.

Hike to this one and you'll be rewarded by some amazing views of the San Bernardino Mountains! Shoes and water, compass and food for sure.

Hike or bike your way up to the southern ridge line above town. I've done this in the past if I want to climb, cross and downhill on a mountain bike. Come prepared though!
