Up in the mountains about two hours east of Los Angeles, Big Bear Lake is both the name of a lake and the small town next to it, which is a heavily visited ski destination in the winter. But in the summer, the seven-mile lake welcomes vacationers looking to fish, boat, or hike. While the town has a permanent population of just over 5,000, on popular weekends it can house as many as 100,000 people. Sitting near the San Bernardino National Forest, the area is known for its amazing views and miles of trails.
