Saturday was beautiful. The temperatures were in the mid-fifties and the sky was a deep bright blue. We wanted to go out and take some pictures so we thought we would head up behind Bear Mountain. We drove around past the Zoo and the crowded Resort, but the back road was blocked with snow.
We then drove past the Village and took a left on Mill Creek Road. There were a lot of kids sliding in the snow off the side of the forest road. The back road into Cedar Lake was snowy and gated.

We continued past the Dam around the lake, when we reached Fawnskin, we turned north and headed into Holcomb Valley. We drove out less than a couple of miles, to Yellow Post Camp site #33 and parked.

We hiked out from the campsite, heading down the road and into the hills. We found the snow line, enjoyed the views of Mount Blady and Lake Arrowhead, and then returned after three hours. At the picnic table we dined on burritos and sodas.
We left as soon as the sun began to set. The temperatures dropped dramatically and it was time to return to our warm cabin in Big Bear.
