Great hike for a family of four wanting to experience the mountains and take some great photos! Amber was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, providing lots of information about the area. A stress free way to hike with family.

Amber was a great guide and photographer! I came to Big Bear on a solo trip, so that was an added bonus. She was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. She provided beautiful views of Big Bear Lake and input of fun things to do while in Big Bear! If you want something off the beaten path, she's a great person to go to.

Beautiful area! It was great to have a local to drive and give context on the history of the area. I would go back in the spring for the wildflowers.
