This will be a 4-5+ hour evening hike returning 9-10p depending on the group and time we take absorbing the vistas and light. The pace will be to summit Bear in 2 hours, so our 1st meal break will be ~7:00p. Descending back via Fern would have us back around 9, taking the more scenic, moon-filled, but longer route via West Ridge and Bear Canyon will have us back at the lot after 10p.
5:00p ready to hike. NCAR parking lot, back SW corner
