Snow Summit
IMHO the most epic view for a modest hike in all of SoCal. 30 minutes of hard work and you get the most amazing panoramic view of Big Bear above all the surrounding tree tops. Tip - this is a really popular hike so to avoid the crowds go on a weekday or early morning before most people have gotten up. #AdventurePacked #TroverTips
