I hiked up the Pino Canyon trail to about
7050’ elevation and then climbed straight up over the ridge between Pino and
Bear Canyons. From that ridge
I dropped into Bear Canyon…. and
what I found was a wonderful unvisited wilderness with two small but nice
waterfalls of it’s own. This is a
lot of work…. But it isn’t trespassing.
