Overnight to Bear Lakes. There is a well marked off trail route to Little Bear from the granite waterfall area about 1/4 mile from Big Bear. Wee Bear Lake had super fishing—lots of brookies. While the saddle looking down towards Big Bear had very nice camping sites, the tarns that usually hold water during wetter years held only dead bug water. Little Bear has great campsites.
