A gateway to the trails of Bear Mountain, Devil's Arch, and the Flatirons. Most of the trails are off-leash friendly for dogs. Be prepared-- while close to home, these trails become steep and gnarly very quickly!

You can hike all the way up to the bear peak summit, a small achievement for Sunday afternoon. The hike takes about 6 hours. Start at early morning if you want to summit the bear peak.
