Description

Nice bouldering all along the Bear Canyon Trail. Mostly covered by the usual guidebooks. The streambed tends to be shady, while the slopes of Dinosaur Mountain/Nebel Horn can provide sun or shade.

Getting There

Bear Canyon Trail from Bear Mountain Drive or NCAR.

The approach is 40 minutes +/- but not too much elevation gain compared to other approaches in the Flatirons.
