Bear Peak, Mountain summit in Boulder County, Colorado
Bear Peak rises to an elevation of 8,461 feet, featuring granite formations and multiple hiking trails through pine forests and rocky terrain.
The mountain experienced a significant environmental event in June 2012 when lightning sparked the Flagstaff Fire, affecting 300 acres of the surrounding area.
The peak serves as a central location for Boulder's outdoor recreation community, connecting multiple trail systems within Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks.
Hikers can access the summit through several trailheads, with the Fern Canyon route covering 5.6 miles and gaining 2,800 feet of elevation.
The summit differs from other Front Range peaks with its pointed top structure, marked by USGS survey points and offering unobstructed views in all directions.
