Snow Sports

Skiing, snowboarding, tubing. Super fun, super close.
Snow Valley is a great place to learn how to ski or snowboard without going all the way to the Big Bear. It’s family-friendly and less expensive than most resorts, and best of all, it’s only a 20min drive from the cabin!!

Summer Hikes

Pacific Crest Trail is full of great hikes and just 30min from the cabin. Google is your friend, so please do plenty of research before heading out to explore!
This is a quick hike (some parts might be challenging) to a small waterfall with several different rock formations from which you can leap into the refreshingly cold water below. Use caution and read up on trail manners before setting out, as many people take way too much gear with them and far too many picnic items that unfortunately leave the trails littered with trash. Please do your part in conserving California’s beauty!

Grocery

If you forgot some food, chances are you won’t want to drive back down the hill to get it, so hit up Jensen’s in Running Springs on your way up to Green Valley Lake. Their ready-to-eat counter is hosted by friendly locals and even has pretty darn good tamales and pulled pork! It’s a small market, but has most everything you’ll need to make a good meal.

Drink plenty of water!

Our cabin is at an altitude of about 7000ft above sea level, which means the air is thin. It’s also very low in humidity, so start drinking plenty of water on your drive up the mountain. Continue copious hydration for the duration of your stay. You might need to use the restroom more often than you like, but your muscles will thank you for it. You’ll also avoid altitude sickness, or at least lessen its effect.

Winter is cold in Southern California mountains

Make sure to pack your winter coat, gloves and hat. For indoor relaxing, don’t forget your warmest slippers and sweatpants! NO SHAME!!

Snow Chains

We cannot stress this enough. Buy snow chains for your vehicle, because you will need them! Last year, we had a storm that had snow falling at 900ft elevation. Better safe than sorry. If you have AWD with snow tires or 4WD, then chances are you’re already a snow pro, so go have some fun!

Firewood

Please purchase your firewood locally as the wood sold down the hill may contain bugs that threaten trees at this elevation. Make sure to buy a mixed wood package (pine/oak). You can find firewood at Jensen’s and Rusty Hammer hardware store in Running Springs.
