Big Bear

Make your way to this panoramic, snowcapped escape. Lined with the pristine shores of Big Bear Lake, this town is a true gem of the San Bernadino Mountains. The epicenter is The Village, a hub of shopping and community. Walk the streets and take in the changing leaves— or a hot toddy to keep warm. If winter sports are your thing, Snow Summit and Bear Mountain are must-shred destinations for snowboarders and skiers alike.

Who says summer should get all the travel fun? Fleeing your day-to-day at the end of the year brings some exciting perks: less crowds, less heat, and more chances to rock that coat that’s been avoiding moths in your closet for the past eight months. The seasonal perks are more than just overdosing on PSL (but definitely do that, too). Embrace the season with chillier climes or buck the cool weather trend and go seek the sun. Whether you find yourself on a mountaintop fireside or closer to the equator attracting rays, make the most of this less-traveled time.
