    Tips

    Hiking

    The trail leads you up the back side of the peak. From the last sign, head up and to the right - the left fork takes you back down into the canyon to Green Mountain. Views are just around the corner!

    Hiking

    Bear peak is awesome, the only con that the trail leading to it is quite crowded usually.

    Running

    Bear Peak is quite a tough run – especially the last ascent is more scrambling than anything else. But it's worth it: The views from Bear Peak are amazing. To the east the vastness of the Great Plains and to the west the snow capped summits of the Rocky Mountains. From here it's only a short trail to South Boulder Peak summit, to add some more miles or for another perspective on the landscape.
