Hiking – NCAR TH to Bear Peak
Thu, Apr 16, 2026

Hiking – NCAR TH to Bear Peak

Starting from the NCAR Trailhead, this challenging hike climbs steadily through forest and exposed ridgelines toward the summit of Bear Peak. The route is strenuous due to significant elevation gain, with steep sections and rocky terrain that demand strong endurance and careful footing. Returning via the Bear Peak Trail offers sweeping views of Boulder and the surrounding Front Range, making the effort well worthwhile.
