A Pleasant Hike - 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.

Great Guide and a Hike with an Awesome Lake View - The family-friendly nature hike was great and accommodating. We got an awesome view of the lake. Amber is very personable, engaging, and knowledgeable of the area. She also suggested to us some places locally to explore on our visit (and we did!). Fun time. We would definitely book another adventure with her.

It's a Perfect Day for a Hike - I had a great hike with Amber. As we hiked, she told me about her experience hiking, trail running, and camping. She told me about things I wasn't already aware of about the area, including pointing out specific details about the city. We had good conversations. She was kind enough to cut me a break as I hadn't hiked in a higher altitude in a while. Next time I plan on booking a longer hike. Thank you Amber

Great, easy hike away from the crowds - Amber is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna of Big Bear, and got to hike some of the iconic Pacific Crest Trail! Well worth it. Plus she gave us refreshments at the end!

Beautiful fall hike great for fall colors and easy for all ages - Loved everything about it! Amber was so knowledgeable and gave a lot of great information during the hike. She found a beautiful area that was family friendly and even easy enough for my 74 year old mom to be able to join in. We loved all the amazing fall colors on this hike and my two boys were so excited to explore several tree forts and a wooden sea saw to play with during our hike.
