Wonderful scenic views and an uphill climb of variety of forest and granite formations. Big bear sits in a beautiful granite bowl and was worth the tough climb to enjoy it. I did an overnight and was treated to a cloudy day, foggy night and sunshine morning.

Decently steep- more so at the end. Good workout. Lots of bear signs... hence the name bear creek.
