About the UltraTrax Bear Creek
Bear Creek Mountain rises steeply, and the course takes full advantage of that. The trails wind through dense woods with real elevation gain, varied terrain underfoot, and open spots where the trees break and you can see out across the surrounding hills. Carrying weight is an option for those who want a harder day, and stops along the route keep you supplied with water, electrolytes, and snacks.
Packet pickup happens the morning of the event, and parking is free on site. After you finish, the ski lodge at the base has an outdoor deck and indoor space where food and drinks are available for purchase.
