Castle Rock Trail. This is a short hike about a mile, but the view is second to none. It's is the best spot to be in awe of the whole city, especially the lake. Beside hiking this trail, you can also do some rock climbing, which the rock itself has plenty of quick draws to latch your rope, to do some climbing. #Hiking
#WeekendGetaway this weekend at Big Bear California. So many things to do, while over here for the summer. Water tubing and water skiing are a must. Other things to do include, a short hike to Castle Rock, which gives you an awesome view of the Lake and City. Also, visit the summit and enjoy some Mountain biking from easy route to difficult. Want other adventurous things to do? Well, they also have zip lining here and a ride on a helicopter to view the city. Enjoy, when you visit here. #Colorful
