    Tips

    Hiking

    Bear Creek crosses the Mesa Trail between the Bear Canyon and Mallory Cave trails. If doing a longer hiking loop, this is a good spot to filter water so that you don't have to carry so much at the start. There are several other small streams that you will cross on the Mesa Trail, but some are seasonal and others are not strong enough to refill your bottle.

    Hiking

    Bear Creek is a nice place to dip your feet.

    Running

    There is a charming stone bridge over Bear Creek that has small cascades flowing beneath it. Although power lines somewhat detract from its natural beauty, it is still a lovely spot to appreciate.
