Hiking
At the 8,550-foot summit of Bear Mountain, you will find some of the best views in the entire Blue Range Mountains! It is a 5.5 mile (ca. 9 km), 3,000 foot climb, but well worth it. Covered in pine trees, every once in a while there will be breaks in the trees where you can enjoy some views of the surrounding area.
