Enjoy an adventure-filled weekend in the fresh mountain air of Big Bear, California! This three-day getaway is the perfect mix of hiking, paddling, and connecting with nature, all with cozy campsite base at Serrano Campground. We'll start with a scenic drive to Big Bear, where we'll set up camp and enjoy a peaceful evening with dinner, s'mores, and mountain views. The next day, we'll kike the beautiful Castle Rock Trail, a 2.7 mile out and back route with stunning lake and forest views. Then, we'll head to one of Big Bear's lakefront spots for a picnic lunch, paddleboarding, swimming, and time to soak up the sun. On our final day, we'll break down camp and visit the Big Bear Alpine Zoo, where you'll get the chance to see rescued and rehabilitated wildlife up close. We'll enjoy a picnic lunch at the zoo before heading back to UNLV, refreshed and recharged from a weekend in the mountains.
