For those curious about the famous Mount Marathon Race, extend your bowl trip further to reach the peak of the Race Trail. Bear Mountain is an off the beaten path hike for bold hikers seeking a challenging but rewarding experience.
Important to note: All time lengths are estimates. Trips may be shorter or longer depending on speed of group and trail conditions.
Note that Tonsina trips may be shared with other groups, but all other hikes will be private.
