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.
