Road Trip From Los Angeles to Big Bear
Once you leave Los Angeles, most of the drive is quite scenic, making the (approximately) two hours it takes to get to Big Bear fly by.
The drive is fairly easy—take CA-210 out of Los Angeles to San Bernardino, where you’ll get on CA-330 N. After driving through the gorgeous San Bernardino Mountains for a stretch, you’ll merge from CA-330 N onto CA-18, which will take you the rest of the way!
As you leave the traffic and noise behind in the city sprawl, the landscape will open up, with wide blue skies above and lovely trees flanking the road. As you grow closer, you’ll see majestic mountains rising in the distance, and before long, you’ll pass through them.
At this point, it might be hard to keep your eyes on the road—the views are breathtaking! You’ll feel your worries melt away as the vivid blue skies and deep green evergreen trees replace city buildings. Roll down the window to enjoy the fresh, restorative mountain air and the wind in your hair. Depending on the time of year, there may even be snow blanketing the ground, trees, and mountains!
