Great hike in Bear Canyon with Lee and the dogs. We had been working on getting out there with the pups and Bear Canyon with all the water was perfect hike. Bruce did this hike recently and it looked like a winner especially for Cup...she loves the water! Bear Canyon is definitely the nicest of the rim canyons I've seen so far with some rocky cliffs and interesting pools to navigate.

After exploring Bear we linked up with Houston Brothers Trail which is cool in it's own right. Lunch was at Aspen Spring with large meadows and an old cabin site. We continued up Houston Brothers enjoying more meadows and tall ferns along the way before dropping back down into East Bear Canyon. Once in the bottom we followed it downstream back to where we hiked out at the Bear Canyon - East Bear Canyon confluence. On top it was short hike back to the vehicle and some beverages to finish off a great day of hiking :D
