Description

Bearscat is the main route of east Cedro.

The trail starts at Rd 254 and heads north with moderate grades and a nice meadow section.

North of a prominent saddle (where Pokerchip North joins up) the trail changes abruptly. The trail plunges down rocky sections and, in areas, runs through the arroyo.

Eventually Bearscat flattens out, crosses Pinon, and ends at Gear Grinder.
