We were pleasantly surprised by this small zoo for rescued wild animals located in Moonridge. Usually open 10-5, $12 for adults/$9 kids. Some really neat animals live there- grizzly bears, a snow leopard, wolves, and eagles.

one of the most popular hiking trails, and only 2.5 miles from our cabin off of Big Bear Blvd. It is a mile out and back, and we did the whole thing in an hour at a fairly slow pace. There are parts that are pretty steep, but the view from the top is pretty epic. It is dog friendly and fairly well marked.

great views and a well-marked, dog-friendly path. We usually hike for 5 miles, but I think you can go much farther.
