That time has passed. Say hello to Skyline: eight miles of pure backcountry splendor, now open to the public.

Excavated and compacted by the Big Bear Valley Trail Foundation, a nonprofit run by sap-happy outdoorsmen, the Skyline Trail was a fire-break created during the Old Fire of 2003.

It’s now hikeable and bikeable. And pretty damn breathtaking.
