Hiking to Big Bear Lake in the Trinity Alps Wilderness

Yesterday we went on another hike in the Trinity Alps Wilderness in Northern California. This was, I think, the eighth lake we have hiked to in this area. Others included Trail Gulch Lake, Little Boulder Lake, and Smith Lake.

The trail to Big Bear Lake (and Wee Bear Lake–AKA Little Bear Lake–which we didn’t go to) is only 4.5 miles, but it felt like much more. The scenery on the trail changes frequently, but the nearly 3,000 feet of elevation gain does not. I’m sore today.
