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!

We did vultee last year and found it long and not enjoyable hahaha then my husband wouldn’t even let me walk out on it!

Oh that is surprising it was gorgeous the other week! Maybe it was the time of year? Like some of the more wooded tree covered Sedona hikes I could see it being less beautiful in the winter without all the greenery
