What people say

"Appropriately named, this is the toughest hike in Sedona. Although not long, it features four false summits and parts that are VERY vertical. It truly is a bear of a hike. But, the views, which change and evolve with each level and switchback, are some of the most far-reaching and stunning in all of Sedona. Not up for something quite so challenging? Doe Mountain trail across the street (from the Forest Service parking lot for both hikes), is vertical(ish) but short, and offers panoramic views of its own. Bear Mountain: 4.6 miles return, 2100-foot elevation gain Doe Mountain: 1.5 miles return, 400-foot elevation gain"
"The top of Bear Mountain awards you with 360-degree views of Sedona's red rocks. Be aware that there are several deceptive false summits before you reach the actual summit. Keep an eye out for the white diamond trail markers to find your way, and bring plenty of water! A Red Rocks Pass is needed for this hike. You can purchase a pass at the kiosk at the parking lot, or beforehand here: https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/74387 "
