Description

The Bear Paw Trail is a great way to add a few miles onto your run or hike. From this trail, Hikers will get close up views of the cliffs that you see upon driving into the park. The trail starts and ends on the Mason Creek Trail, making for a nice short loop add-on.

A three mile uphill trek to get to this trail, but worth it. Gorgeous views! The trail itself is intermediate, but getting there is inter/difficult.
