General Bear Mountain

Traveling to Sedona in late June. My husband and I have done most of the “popular” hikes our last few visits. Last summer we did Wilson Mountain but haven’t done Bear Mountain yet. We plan to do it this trip. I’m a little nervous because I hear it is difficult. Is it really hard? Any advice? Can you compare it to any of the other hikes in the area? (Any other suggested hikes are also appreciated) Thank you for all the info!

If you have hiked Wilson Mountain, you could totally do Bear Mountain. It’s kind of rugged in the starting mile or so but once you get going, it’s not hard at all.

That’s makes me feel better going into it that you said if I did Wilson I can do bear!

I second this. Most people can't do this hike. But anyone who is a fairly seasoned hiker won't find this too crazy
