Overview

Easiest route to ride Bear Creek into Silverton.

Need to Know

Hunter use in fall time.

Description

This is an easier pedal up route to take for riding Bear Creek. Bear Creek is a more raw and rugged backcountry trail with some difficult sections to ride. Mostly rocky and hard to carry momentum. The pedal up CT- Twin Sisters is pretty mellow with incredible views of Molas Pass area. The top of Bear Creek is more a gentle descent and traverse over to 'hunt camp' where the descent really starts. The top bit out of hunt camp is steeper, rooty, and rocky. It is short but sweet and a load of fun for folks liking tech. It is followed by the middle section of Bear Creek which turns into tricky to ride large rocks and scree. Finally finishing the trail out by picking up the speed and finding more flow. Still a good bit of rocks but a higher average speed and more stuff to pop off and enjoy.
