  • Easy
  • Mileage: 4.5 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 434 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,756 ft
  • Pace: Casual
  • Meeting time: 9:00 (to start hike at 9:15)
  • Meeting location: Little Park, Miller Lane, Indian Hills (some GPS will say Idledale)

We will meet at Little Park, which is about 1 mile east of Lair O Bear entrance. The park is on Miller Lane, which is a not very well marked left off SH 74 if you are coming from the east, 3.9 miles after the intersection of Morrison Road and SH74.

  • There is a vault toilet at the trailhead and another on the way back in Lair O Bear.

While this is an easy trail overall, there is a relatively steep, rocky section to the top of Bruins Bluff, with about 300 feet of elevation change over 1/2 mile. There is also an easy water crossing. Poles may be helpful.

All dogs must be up to date with vaccinations, friendly to people and other dogs, and leashed and under your control at all times. You accept full responsibility for any actions taken by your dog. Please see CMCdog hike rules.
