Note that there is more than one Bear Canyon on the Mogollon Rim - this is the one with the lake. The stream below the dam had water in it for about a mile. There wasn't water flowing from the dam outlet so this was probably just underground seepage from the lake. There didn't appear to be any massive rock formations and cliffs along the canyon walls like in many of the Mogollon Rim Canyons. Then I took a closer look through the thick forest on the canyon sides and noticed that they were there, just hidden by the trees. The bottom of the canyon had few obstructions that couldn't be easily bypassed on the elk trails. So this was not a challenging hike but notable for the heavily forested canyon sides and lush vegetation along the creek banks. |
