Route Climbed: Shadow Canyon, Fern Canyon, West Ridge Date Climbed: Too many  Sucess!

I have probably been up Bear Peak some 50 times at all times of the year. Indeed when I knew no other mountians I motored up to Boulder to climb Bear 3 or more times a week. I have seen it on summer afternoons covered with ladybugs and on cold winter inversions when Boulder isn't at all visable. I have been up it with friends with family with dogs and solo.

Definitely a great training climb. The Shadow Canyon Trail will get the legs burning on a non-stop ascent.

Route Climbed: via Shadow Canyon Date Climbed: June 10, 2003

An excellent hike with a fun mild scramble near the top. A bad hike if you have a fear of mountain lions ripping your body to shreds, but at least its not an 12-hour torture-thon. Great views of Boulder and Denver, plus the Indian Peaks to the west.

Nice hike, a good warm up for the higher mountains. Lots of mud on the lower part of the trail. I saw two other people the entire day.

Route Climbed: Shadow Canyon Date Climbed: multiple  Sucess!

I've been up this peak multiple times. It's a great day hike, usually there are few people the higher one goes, and the view is wonderful from the top. It's really nice seeing the lights below on the way up (or down) on summer evenings.

12 January, '16: 2nd of my traverse of S. Boulder Peak, Bear, & Green Mtn. Summited at 15.27. Wonderful views. Only one on the mountain :)
