You came for the ride. Stay for everything else. Big Bear is a mountain town that earns its place on the itinerary long after you rack your bike. While most of the country is cooking in triple-digit temps, August in Big Bear delivers sunny afternoons in the 70s and cool alpine nights in the 50s.
Whether you’re here with your crew, your family, or rolling solo, there’s a full weekend worth of activities beyond the bike. Here’s everything worth doing when your legs get a day off.
Sure, the epic miles brought you to Big Bear — but your taste buds deserve a good time too. Before or after the ride, enjoy hearty breakfasts, award-winning local favorites, and unwind with live music and a cold craft beer in hand.
Whether you're in recovery mode, looking for some light exercise, or ready to ride a pirate ship across the lake, Big Bear's got something for everyone.
The mountains have so much to offer. Whether it's riding a scenic chairlift, sliding down a mountain on the Alpine Slide, or discovering local wildlife at the zoo — Big Bear is the ultimate summer mountain escape.
Spend your evenings strolling Big Bear Village — the town’s beating heart. Great shopping, sweet treats, live music, and that perfect mountain-town energy you can only find at 6,750 feet above sea level.
