About this postcard

A view across the blue water of Big Bear Lake, framed by tall pines and granite boulders along a bridle path near the dam, with a densely forested mountain slope rising on the far shore. Big Bear Lake, in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California, was created by a dam completed in 1884 and became a popular mountain resort and recreation area in the early 20th century. The card is from the Frasher's Photo line of Southern California and Western views.
