Bear is a Bear!

This was the first of the 6 Peak Challenge that I did.  I knew the elevation climb vs. the mileage meant it was a steep climb.  It was a steep with a couple of false peaks and since it was mid-September it was still hot.  The change in the vegetation from the desert to the forest made was a nice surprise.  the views at the top gave a great vantage of the Sedona area.  Overall a challenging climb that lived up to its name.
