Nov 09, 2017 — A nice hike up a popular Sedona trail with some steeper sections and pretty slickrock, leading to Bear Mountain's false summit. Continue a short bit past the summit on an obvious trail to get to a much nicer overlook than the summit itself. The Bear Mountain Trail doesn't take you to the official Bear Mountain summit, but I wasn't interested in bushwhacking for over a mile to get there.
Doe Mountain is another short and popular hike starting from the same trailhead. A few pleasant switchbacks lead to the rim of Doe Mountain's mesa-like summit, where trail markers lead to an overlook on the opposite side of the mesa. To reach the true high point, just after getting over the rim, a social trail leads south.
