One of the first thoughts of people who are looking into booking rental cabins in Big Bear in the summer months is what activities are there for us to do in summer?
One great idea that offers a lot of options for activities as well as great views of the region is to spend a day taking the Scenic Sky Chair at Big Bear Resorts.
The resort converts one of their ski lifts in the summer months into the Sky Chair. Guests can take the mile-long ride up the mountain ascending from 7,000 feet to 8,200 feet at the top of the Sky Chair.
Once you get to the top you can enjoy a barbeque lunch at the View Haus or spend time hiking and exploring the area on the Mountain Top Trail before descending. Many visitors opt to hike back down the mountain taking one of the many trails back down.
The Sky Chair is a family-friendly way to spend a day. All ages can ride the Sky Chair from infants to seniors. The speed is reduced in the summer months and the chairs can be stopped at any time for ease in loading and unloading.
The Sky Chair opens for weekend-only service starting May 18th and goes to daily service starting June 16th. Hours for the Sky Chair are 9 am – 5pm Saturday and 9 am – 4 pm Sunday through Friday.
In terms of summertime activities, the Scenic Sky Chair is definitely one that people will want to have on their list as it offers them a number of options for their entire group.
