October is the time of year to experience the colors of Fall come into the mountains.
The nights are getting colder, and winter is coming. Visiting Big Bear in October is an excellent getaway if you want to escape the heat and relax in the peaceful forest.
Bring your winter clothes because it will get below freezing at nights, and we have even had early snowstorms in October.
Big Bear Lake is preparing to wrap up from a fun summer, so be sure to get your last boat rides in. The Fall is an excellent time of year to hike the trails in Big Bear with minimal crowds and embrace the beautiful foilage.
