Trail Overview
While many people make Bear Mountain Lookout a destination, the overlook at the end of FS 291.3K is spectacular any time of the year and is definitely one not to miss. This route off Ditch Creek is not heavily traveled but the scenic overlook is one of the best places to stop in the Black Hills.
