Bear's Hump trip log
The trail head is basically the parking lot at the information center. You will see a gap in the trees on the west side that you will want to head up. Shortly after you will come to a board that tells you all about Bear's Hump.
The trail is nice and firm compacted dirt. Once you pass the beginning section there are a lot of switchbacks that help keep the steepness down as you make your way up. Once you reach a flight of stairs you are at the top.
