For the best man tasked with giving his buddy an unorthodox send off, Big Bear Mountain is a great place to consider. Located in California’s San Bernardino Mountains, this area offers a secluded experience, rooted in male bonding and outdoor adventures.
There is lodging for every price range from simple townhouses to luxury resorts, but perhaps the most fitting living accommodations are the many cabins for rent around the area.
While there, old friends can bond over a few beers while fishing at Metcalf Bay, or test their skills through nine holes at the Bear Mountain Golf Course.
For the more adventurous, there is the Onyx Summit Ziplining and Off-Roading Tour, where friends can drive Pinzgauer vehicles through the hills.
At night, the place to go is The Village, the area’s shopping and entertainment hub. Here, visitors can find numerous restaurants and bars like the Big Bear Brewing Company, as well as some outdoor fire pits to relax by.
Big Bear Lake is just more than two hours from Los Angeles and three and a half hours from Las Vegas for those who would like to incorporate a more traditional bachelor party experience into their trip.
