Bear Creek

The Bear Creek Trail is a fun and easy single-track with great views through various terrains. The south end starts on Middle Mountain Road and goes into a forest of tall, skinny aspen trees, winding narrowly between the trees. Several trees down make you have to ride over 1-foot tall logs. It gradually climbs up the mountain for about 3 miles, with small embedded rocks that are easy to go over but are mostly fast and flowy. It dumps out on the road for a portion and picks back up later as it goes directly north. It rides through green grassy meadows between pine trees, not as tightly between the trees. There is a small stream crossing that is washed out. It gets up on top of a ridge line between the aspens again, going very straight. There's an easy bail out on the north end back to the road. Otherwise, it doubles south on beautiful hillsides, through cow pastures and extensive meadows, until it ends on the road.
