Bear Canyon Upper - West Bear Canyon Loop, AZ :: Question by hikeaz

"Also Note: For the stronger hiker with off-trail route finding ability, this loop hike can be combined with the Bear Canyon(Middle) hike description for a longer 12+ mile "lolly pop" loop hike... if planning this option it is recommended to start/end from the Bear Canyon (Middle) Park/TH Location unless planning a shuttle hike which is also an option."

I am having difficulty locating the description for Bear Canyon (middle) and was looking for some help, please.
Thanks!

You must have just missed it. It's under the "B" in the home page alphabet listing-->

but including this section with "Bear Canyon Upper - West Bear Canyon Loop" for a longer lolly pop loop, one would have to find a way around (or plan to get wet) at this obstacle in Middle Bear Canyon (from my three different trips in there)-->

As a reminder, you can always use the Purple Search Box on the homepage. If you typed "Bear Canyon Middle" it would be the ONLY result.

Alternately, when viewing the description page that you posted this question from, you can view the list of "Nearby Hikes". It's 5 miles away, so it's not at the top of the list of nearby hikes, but a short scroll down would have found it.

"bear canyon middle" works in the orange search atop any page too

name search on HAZ is typically 3 letters so "bea can mid" works well
description pages are the primary usage, hence the top of page placement

"ear yon dle" works in the orange search too
