Bear Mountain Trail Details
If you're feeling adventurous, then this trail is a great way to burn a few extra calories. In just 2.3-miles, you ascend 1,800 feet towards the summit of this mountain, where you will have panoramic views of the Red Canyon and San Francisco Mountains. However, you will have to trek up some steep steps and even scramble up a few boulders to earn that view. The way back down is another 2.3-miles, which means you should plan to spend roughly 5 hours altogether. While this is a very challenging hike, the great news is that you will have some fantastic views throughout the entire journey. So even if you can't reach the top, you will still be able to enjoy those sweeping vistas.
