"We're gearing up for a summer of outdoor family fun with lots of programs and tours, nature crafts and the weekly campfire programs," said Kathy Clapsaddle, national forest development operations director. "The Discovery Center is where families can get their science on, through connecting with nature and learning about our natural resources - all while having fun," Kathy said.

"In fact, National Trails Day is coming up on June 4 - designed to celebrate and honor our trails - so we're looking for volunteers to help restore them for everyone to enjoy."

The National Forest Association also presents a wonderful concert series each summer that benefits NFA restoration efforts.

This year's seventh annual Music in the Mountains Summer Concert Series, designed for "healing the forest with music," begins June 25 with "The Long Run, a tribute to the Eagles," back by popular demand. Next up is "Don't Stop Believin,' DSB, America's Favorite Tribute to Journey," on July 16. "The Big Bear Mountain Music Festival," on July 30, is headlined by Brian Lynn Jones and the Misfit Cowboys.

Read what our guests have to say about their vacation stay with us at Golden Bear Cottages

"We have always done private rentals in Big Bear before, but we found Golden Bear to be a more affordable option for the Christmas period so went with it, and now believe we will return to Golden bear rather than do private vacation rentals in the future.  Golden Bear Cottages resort is rustic, charming, and welcoming."

"Each year, since 1995, our family has been patronizing Golden Bear Resort in Big Bear Lake. We have rented several different size cabins over the past 15 years and for stays of 2 to 7 nights. Sometimes once a year, sometimes 2 or 3 times a year for vacation. We have become friends with Don and Karen DiCarlo, and their daughter, Lisa, and son-in-law, Lenny Duran. Truly nice folks."

"Big Bear Christian retreat with lake cabins for rent. Thoroughly enjoyed our return visit to the Golden Bear. Same clean cottage. Same great family owners and staff. Same cabin which is only a block from the lake. It's nice to have a comfortable relaxing place to go for a short vacation. After our second trip, we were sold. We even gave the group cabin rental information to out church youth group leader. She is now planning a youth retreat at Golden Bear. The Golden Bear resort property is a perfect place for our family to have a getaway from the city life in any season!"
