For Labor Day we went up to Big Bear (finally) and took a ride on the ski lift and hiked back down the mountain. The day was cloudy and much cooler than down in the valley. In fact, we were greeted at the top of the mountain with a thunderstorm. Still, my girls were up to the adventure and we went ahead and hiked back down instead of taking the ski lift. It was 1 1/2 miles and pretty steep. We had to break out the umbrella a few times, but overall it was pleasant. The mountains were beautiful and we decided we have got to visit more often!
