Overview

An easy drive in the Big Bear Lake area, 2N71 offers you one of the best off-pavement tours of the lake without having to hike. In addition, you get a perfect view of the city on the south shore of the Lake. Head up this trail for one of the best 4th of July firework displays in the area. The area was once populated by only Native Americans and the grizzly bears, from which the area received its name. Not to worry, grizzly bears have not been found in the region since 1908. Black bears were introduced in the region in 1933. Big Bear Valley grew rapidly during the Southern California Gold Rush from 1861 to 1912. This trail is perfect for an introduction into this beautiful area of Holcomb Valley and Big Bear Lake.
