Celebrate Winter Solstice: Guided Hikes & Possible Snowshoe Tours in Big Bear

Join Big Bear Hiking Adventures for our Celebrate Winter Solstice series—five unforgettable guided hikes designed to welcome the season with movement, intention, and mountain magic. From Woodland Trail to Cougar Crest, each hike invites you to breathe in the crisp winter air, connect with nature, and embrace the seasonal shift. These hikes are perfect for anyone looking to celebrate winter, refresh their spirit, or symbolically help “call in” the snow.
Snowshoe Tour Upgrade if Snow Arrives
If winter delivers the snowfall we’re all hoping for, these hikes will automatically transform into snowshoe tours, giving you a unique chance to explore Big Bear’s forest in a true winter wonderland.
Snowshoe upgrade fee: $30 per person
Optional snowshoe rentals: $23 per person
If conditions permit and your guided hike is upgraded to a snowshoe tour, you’ll receive an email with details and rental instructions.

Winter Solstice.
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. This is an ancient moment of transition when the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky and the days begin to grow longer. Hiking on the solstice is a powerful way to reconnect with nature, reset your outlook, and celebrate the start of winter in a meaningful, mindful way.
Reserve Your Spot
Kick off winter with intention, movement, and stunning Big Bear views. Celebrate the solstice the BBHA way—out on the trail.
