Tips

The Bear Canyon Trail is a challenging trail that is one of the steepest in the park, gaining 2,000 feet in less than two miles. Despite its challenges, it is a fantastic trail and one of the best and fastest ways to get up to Hunter Peak and the Bowl. Due to its steepness, the park recommends going up, not down it. Another thing to keep in mind as you plan your hike is that Bear Canyon Trail is east facing and receives full sun by mid-day.
