Lake Arrowhead🌄

First time going to Lake Arrowhead and almost decided to not go last minute due to an unexpected family situation. I did not want to leave my family member's side but he insisted that I should still go and enjoy life. It was a really tough decision for me and even though I went, I still bugged him as I was away for the weekend. I told him every chaotic moment that happened at the Airbnb and let’s just say that it was a good laugh.

Days before leaving was the packing process and I’m happy that the sorority retreat experiences helped me in this situation. Only took a carry on full of clothes and costumes and a small duffle bag that had my boots, hygiene products, and makeup essentials. It was a little hard to choose the ‘going out outfits’ as the weather range from 40ºF to 50ºF and most of my clothes were summer clothes/LA winter clothes. Good thing I was able to figure out an outfit and they were perfect for the days that I was there. 

The drive to Lake Arrowhead was not bad at all. Traffic was decent and nothing chaotic. The drive through the mountains was the end of me. I am not a fan of hills or rain and the days that my group and I were there, it was filled with hills and rain. Quite a scary moment if you ask me. Imagine driving up hills with rain, thick fog, and at night. One of the worst moments of my life!! Will I do it again? Probably. During the day there wasn’t much fog which was beautiful when you can enjoy the view. Especially when arriving at the cabin. Felt very homey and cozy. One thing that I kept telling my sister was that I wanted to see a bear as there were signs saying “Beware of Bears”. Never saw one throughout our stay which was probably better for us. Exploring Lake Arrowhead was beautiful but cold. It didn’t help that the wind would move the fog fairly quickly but when there wasn’t any, it was beautiful to enjoy. We all kept saying that it feels like we were in one of the Twilight movies. Definitely planning on going back during the autumn season.
