Hiking

Bear Run is a short spur trail off the Cathedral Rock Loop Trail, please see Cathedral Rock and Pyramid Falls for more information on this trail. 1.6 miles from Lake Road along the Cathedral Rock Trail lies this fun and exciting short spur trail. A small pool rests at the intersection and you will follow a tall sheer cliff toward Bear Run. Be very careful as you climb and descend this rocky section, it can be slippery and is quite steep.
