Beautiful Lake Hike in Big Bear! - We had a wonderful morning with Amber! She gave great directions for meeting with us, and she catered the hike to our preferences and the ages of people in our group! Amber knows a lot about the area, including the history, plants, and animals. She made it a great experience for all of us, and we will definitely go on a hike with her in the future!

Great Family Experience - We did the hike to Bluff Lake over the July 4th weekend and it was so worth it! First, Amber is so knowledgable about the trails, flora, and fauna. She shared so much information and history of the area as we did the hike, which we really appreciated. It really enriched and enhanced the whole experience for us. Second, she was really great with our two kids (10 and 13). I could tell my kids enjoyed the experience because my 10 year old was very chatty and asked many questions. Amber happily obliged, answered my kids' questions, and actively engaged in conversation with both of my kids. And the off rode drive up and back was a highlight for us too. Overall, this was a great adventure for our family. The hike itself is perfect for families (its not too strenuous) and it was really beautiful. The hike ended with some refreshing lemonade which Amber made and really hit the spot on a hot day. I highly recommend this tour with Amber.

Family friendly hike. - The views were amazing & the hike is family friendly. I took my 10 year old son and he loved every minute of it. Amber was very knowledgeable about the history of the land, plants, trees, & flowers all around us.

Fun and Informative Tour - Bluff Lake is Gorgeous! - My son and I had a really good time with this tour! We had never been to Bluff Lake (which is so beautiful). But what really made it special (and part of the reason we wanted to do a tour in the first place) was that Amber was so knowledgeable and entertaining. She kept us engaged and asking questions. Nothing is better than getting out and moving in a beautiful place AND learning new stuff. She also took some great pictures of us. Really great time!

Excellent experience - We had such a fun time with Amber. She was very knowledgeable on Bluff Lake and her hot chocolate was amazing. We were even able to see a pack of wolves. We would definitely come again.
