Octo Hike – Lair o' the Bear Park - Little Park to Lair o' the Bear

This is an Octogenarian (Octo) Hike for those who have aged out of normal CMC hikes, or anyone who finds CMC's traditional Easy hikes more than they want or can do. Octo Hikes are slower paced, have shorter distances, less elevation gain, and more frequent stops than typical Easy A hikes. Octo Hikes typically include a stop for snacks at picnic tables, when available, or social lunch at a local cafe after the hike (details TBD). Little Park to Lair o' the Bear An easy 4.5 mile trail, starting at Little Park, winding into Lair O Bear park, up about 300 feet along Bruins Bluff and back down to intersect with Bear Creek trail. Features include forest, a short rocky incline, long stretches along the creek, and flat easy sections to the castle and back.
