Big Bear’s In The Den

Oak Glen (10/15/19) Alena Nicholas

Big Bear has headed to its den for the winter. Peak fall color can still be seen, but more and more leaves are dropping, Alena Nicholas reports from the San Bernardino Mountains.

While Big Bear has begun to hibernate, peak color is appearing elsewhere in the mountains as Indian Summer arrives.

Lake Gregory, Lake Arrowhead and Grass Valley are all dressed in beautiful color.

Lower down, Oak Glen, is Patchy with cottonwood, black oak, aspen, bigleaf maple and apple trees primed for its annual harvest show. Time to order an apple pie!
