About This Trail

Imported description

The Alpine Pedal Path is an asphalt path that goes through the forest on the north shore of Big Bear Lake. It is accessible for a lot of people. This path runs through a tunnel through Highway 38 to the parking lot. It goes east, going to connect with the Discovery Center. This site is easy to navigate. There are two places to park at Juniper Point or Meadow's Edge. The Alpine Pedal Path is an excellent place to view eagles. In Southern California there is the largest wintering bald eagle population. Eagles usually stay in the area until April when they begin arriving back in the US.
