Pine Knot Trail (to Grand View Point)
Big Bear Lake, CA
Adventure Pass ($5/day or $30/year)
By Simir Shah
A moderate-to-difficult Forest Service trail that climbs through oaks and pines from Aspen Glen Picnic Area toward Grand View Point (7,784 ft), with big lake views. Best for school-age kids who hike; the trailhead has 16 parking spaces and no restrooms or water, so bring both.
