This trailhead is the main access point to the Bears Best Trail System. This extensive network of trails connects to other systems including Blue Diamond and Cowboy Trails, which have trails of varying difficulties; there really is something for everyone in an amazing desert setting! In the spring, summer, and early fall look out for desert tortoises in this area! They blend into the surroundings and can look like rocks! Please do not pick up or handle a tortoise unless they are in danger of getting hit; in those cases you can carefully pick up the tort by the sides of it shell, keep it low to the ground and move it in the direction it was headed (and sanitize your hands afterward!). Other than that, please do not touch a tort or get too, too close to one in the wild because scaring them can actually be deadly! When afraid, they will pee as a last resort defense mechanism. Desert tortoises are able to drink water in large amounts (up to 45% of their body weight), which is stored for future use and critical to their survival all year. They can actually live off of one big drink a year! If startled, however, they might urinate and lose their critical water stores and die of dehydration. Additionally, wild torts carry a bunch of diseases including salmonella and herpes, so you also don’t want to handle them for your own safety!
