Our mountain community is located 6000 feet above sea level in the heart of the San Bernardino Mountains. Only ninety minutes east of Los Angeles or three hours north of San Diego, centrally located between Snow Valley Ski Resort and Lake Arrowhead, seventeen miles west of Big Bear Lake. The Running Springs area offers activities year round including skiing, snow boarding, cross country skiing, hiking, fishing, horseback riding, shopping, restaurants and other mountain activities.
We had quite an adventure getting to Running Springs. To our surprise, we hit a winter storm 3 miles out of town on The Rim of the World Highway! We did not have chains, but we had help from a local who forged a clean track for us to follow to town. He then proceeded to turn around to help others. It was scary fun the kind that make your heart race. When we got to our room a blanket of snow covered the trees and a warm fire welcomed us. We spent two days in our perfect hideaway, built a snowman, walked to town and bought Christmas gifts from a sweet A frame gift store. Everyone was so nice in town and at the lodge. Will do this again!
