I
hiked up Bear Mountain starting at 6:44am. I reached the summit in 2 hours and 6 minutes. It's 4.9 miles round trip
with 1,984 feet of elevation gain. The hike took me 4.5 hours. This was
my third time up the mountain. It's one of the most beautiful hikes in
Sedona, and I have only encountered about a half dozen people on the
trail each time. I enjoy hiking in Sedona, as long as I can easily escape the crowds. Fortunately any trail that is hard filters out most people. Also, these early morning hikes eliminate my depression that so often appears when I wake up.

I went off-trail and up the slickrock.
