More Than a Trail Map
Experiences Made For You
More Than Just a Hike
There’s a lot to love about exploring the mountains on your own. But sometimes having a guide helps you experience more.
When you’re visiting Big Bear, your time here is valuable. Instead of spending your morning figuring out trail options, parking, routes, and conditions, you can simply show up ready to enjoy the mountains.
A guide helps you spend less time planning and more time noticing the things that make the experience special: the stories behind the landscape, the wildlife around you, the views you might have missed, and the moments that make you glad you came.
At Big Bear Hiking Adventures, we believe a guided hike is about more than following a trail. It’s about helping you make the most of your time in the mountains while sharing the details that bring this place to life.
With Shauna as your guide, you’ll explore with confidence, curiosity, and a deeper appreciation for the place around you.
During your adventure, you’ll have the chance to:
✓ Spend your valuable Big Bear time exploring instead of researching trails and logistics
✓ Learn about the plants, wildlife, geology, and history that make these mountains unique
✓ Discover details and stories you might not notice on your own
✓ Enjoy a thoughtfully planned experience with a local guide who knows and loves these trails
✓ Create memories with the people you came to the mountains with

Trail Moments
The Best Parts of the Trail Aren’t Always at the Finish Line
Some of our favorite memories in the mountains happen in between the trail markers.
A conversation while walking through the forest. A surprising view around a corner. A quiet moment watching the sunset. A laugh shared with someone you just met.
These are the moments that make a hike something more than just a hike.
