I was back in the Big Bear Lake area for more easy HPS Peaks. First up was Little Bear (HPS #88). From Fawnskin, I went north on Rim of the World Dr., then 3N14, then 3N12. The dirt roads were in decent shape with only a few small ruts. The trail started behind a couple of logs. Little Bear came into view about half way there, with pleasant fall colors in the trees. The trail had been routed around fallen trees and through trimmed sections of whitethorn. The high point was a small pile of boulders about 50' before the lookout point. I found the register in a green can under a rock at the lookout point. No benchmark. Little Bear had 360 views and one of the nicer views of Big Bear. I took a few photos and was on my way back. I lost the trail a couple of times on the way back, just looking at trees and generally not paying attention. My track was a mess and not even worth uploading to Peakbagger. Soon, I was in the truck driving east toward Gold Mountain.
