Lake Big Bear in California

Big Bear Lake is about a 2 hour drive from the airport in Los Angeles (at rush hour it will take about 4 hours) and we love going there. Big Bear Lake is located high in the San Bernardino Mountains about 2,100 m above sea level. The Big Bear dam was completed in 1884 and 1949 the first ski resorts opened up.
On the drive there you escape the smog cloud that covers Los Angeles. Many Americans who own a vacation residence here just relax in the summer, go hiking or fishing, and in winter people enjoy skiing.
We never met a bear at Big Bear Lake.
