A silly Hoku at the summit of Bertha Peak at 8182 ft with panoramic views of Big Bear Lake. We took the trail by way of Cougar Crest and the PCT. Tough decision between Bertha and Sugarloaf Mountain (the highest peak in Big Bear at 9400ft) but we opted for Bertha’s prettier lake views and weren’t disappointed! #berthapeak #bigbearlake #shibainu #adventuredog #rei1440project #hokusummits #hokuhikes Hike stats: 8 miles | 3.5 hours | 1289 ft elevation gain
