Looking toward Bear Mountain from Upper Moonridge, where the trip into town begins.

The free Big Bear Trolley can help your group get around once you’ve driven down from Upper Moonridge. It’s useful when you want to spend part of the day in the Village or make a second stop without moving several cars.

Pick your destination before choosing a stop

A simple Village outing

Plan one main stop for the day, such as lunch and a walk through the Village. If your group splits up, agree on a return stop and time. Check live departures before leaving the restaurant or shop so everyone knows how much time they have. For a route to follow after you get off, see An Afternoon in Big Bear Village.

Taking the trolley to a trail

Mountain Transit’s Trolley to Trails is seasonal. Check the Trolley to Trails route information for operating dates and trail stops. Pick your return stop before starting your walk, especially if you plan to finish at a different trailhead.

Check service before leaving the cabin

Open the operator’s current schedules and live tracker on your travel day. If snow is in the forecast, check our Big Bear weather and road conditions guide for the drive down from the cabin. Find more outing ideas in Our Big Bear Guides.

Stay at Edgar’s Hideaway

Edgar’s Hideaway is a five-bedroom cabin in Upper Moonridge overlooking Bear Mountain. After a day in town, come back for dinner together, a game downstairs, or time on the deck.

Use the sleeping arrangements to plan who sleeps where. Browse the photo gallery, take the virtual tour, or see the amenities and game room.
