It can be a little tricky to find, but promise it's worth the effort. The Cookshak may just look like a stand located behind the Elk's lodge with some picnic tables in a courtyard -- but the sandwiches are fantastic! A great lunch spot.

Amazing western ambiance with what’s described as “gunslinger grub”, LOCAL tells the story of Big Bear’s gold rush and pays homeage to the western cinema that was created in the valley through local provisions that can only be found in the store and original dishes. Their brown butter oat milk coldbrew is a delicious pick me up. Sister restaurant to highly rated Tropicali, the hospitality is top notch as well!

It was recently renovated, so it's beautiful on the inside -- but we still prefer Vons. 😉 It's a good alternative though!

The very beginning and very top of the hike are the most challenging and steep, but you'll get some beautiful views of the lake at the top! Parking is the only tough part as people line up their cars on the sides of the street.
