Keeping New Year's Resolutions
Posted: 12/27/24
Stick to your 2025 New Year's Resolutions or start new ones during your New Year's holiday stay in Big Bear Lake!
Resolution #1 - Stay Active
Go Hiking
Do your New Year's resolutions mean staying active? Big Bear is the ultimate destination for outdoor recreation. Hit the trails for miles of National Forest routes that wind through wooded hills, seasonal streams and lush meadows. Hike, bike, travel on horseback or - in winter - strap on a pair of snowshoes in the winter.
Go Skiing
Skiers and snowboarders can carve down the slopes at Snow Summit and Bear Mountain. Each ski resort offers ski and board rentals, lessons, dining, and good memories!
Go Gym-ing
Big Bear is home to several fitness gyms if a classic workout is more your style. Find a Pilates class or relax at a day spa.
Resolution #2 - Eat Well
If keeping to a healthy diet is your resolution, you're in luck. Many of Big Bear's local restaurants offer healthy meal options including vegan and vegetarian entrees. Big Bear has grown to include a range of international cuisines like Nepalese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, French, Italian, Mexican and Hawaiian. Classic American eateries include pizza parlors, pubs, steak and seafood houses. Of course access is always permitted to the fudge and ice cream shops if it's a cheat day.
Resolution #3 - Challenge Your Mind
Enjoy one of Big Bear's outdoor scavenger hunt experiences and get to know some fun history with Urban Adventure Quest or Riddle Routes. Or, team up with the smartest people you know and solve your way out of one the escape rooms at Mountain Room Escapes.
If upping your reading time is one of your goals, stop by one of Big Bear's used books store at Bear Necessities or in the Upstairs Village Mall. Then curl up in front of the fireplace and dive in.
Happy New Year!
Resolution #4 - Less Screen Time
Trade the digital screen for sunscreen! Big Bear is the best Southern California destination for outdoor recreation in every season. In the summer, soak up the sun on the lake. In the winter, enjoy Big Bear's snow sports and recreation. In the spring, marvel at the colorful wildflowers and in the fall, take in the breathtaking foliage.
Resolution #5 - Give Back
Leave the world a little brighter than before when you volunteer your time for a good cause. In Big Bear, there are so many ways to help support sustainable tourism, environmental efforts, and wildlife care. Explore some of Big Bear's non-profit groups striving for a better tomorrow.
