Every year thousands of hikers attempt to hike from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail. The PCT is one of the best hiking trails in Big Bear and visitors can hike Big Bear sections of the trail. Big Bear Hostel is exactly 1/10th of the way to Canada going North. We have hosted thousands of thru-hikers since 2003. Below is a map of the trail and local resources for hikers.
