Magnificent views, took our dogs and they loved it.
Needed more snow! LoL
Great easy hike (some narrow trail and rocks, but very manageable). Beautiful view and doesn't take all day to summit
Really nice trail. Starts out narrow trail thru thick forest. Starts to open up about 1/2 way up. Gradual incline for first 7/10 of a mile. Then at split to Panorama point, it gets more of an incline. But don’t stop. Last 2/10 are fairly steep, but levels off near top for great viewpoints! We are casual hikers in our 60’s and we made it. Enjoy this beautiful shady hike! Total distance to top is about 1.5 mile with 650 elevation change.
Fun hike with a great view, but know a few things before you go. It's a moderately difficult hike about 1.5 miles to the top. First, this parking lot is quite small and often full. In that case drive down the road half a mile or so to corwina park (where there's more parking) and cross the road and join up with the bear creek trail from there. Second, the main trail does not take you to the actual 'panorama point' When you get near the top you can look for side trails or you can literally just use gps and google maps to get you there. The spot listed on google is pretty much spot on were the best view is. The first time I went here I got near the top and just used google maps to the actual viewing spot. I've seen lots of people hike the main path and then miss the best view on the hike!
