Care For Big Bear
Make a Positive Impact when you Stay in Big Bear, Join Us!
Welcome to Big Bear! Our community enjoys a beautiful setting surrounded by the San Bernardino National Forest and our tourism is closely tied to the natural environment. From hiking along the trails, to stargazing and camping, from snow play and skiing, to boating and fishing, these activities let us connect with nature, and it's our responsibility to enjoy them responsibly. While you're here, we ask that you help us Care For Big Bear by: Following the 7 Principles of Leave No Trace, Getting Involved and Volunteering, Preserving our Dark Sky, Joining in Our Events & Supporting our local Green Businesses.
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. Anne Frank
