Big Bear City has served as a mountain settlement in California’s San Bernardino Mountains since the late 19th century. Set on the eastern side of Big Bear Valley at roughly 6,750 feet (2,060 metres), it lies near Big Bear Lake and the pine-covered slopes of San Bernardino National Forest. The area’s story includes logging, recreation and the nearby Holcomb Valley gold discovery of 1860, which triggered an early Southern California mining rush. Big Bear City Airport reflects the community’s practical role within this high-altitude mountain area.
