Bear Den Mountain Hike

Let’s start the quest to be Lake Placid 9ers by reaching the summit Bear Den Mountain in Wilmington. A hidden gem in the Adirondacks offering unique views of the popular Whiteface Mountain and it's region. The bottom portion of the trail is also a mountain bike trail to be mindful of riders if you pass them. This hike enjoys switchbacks throughout and will certainly test your aerobic conditioning as it continuously goes up without many breaks. Distance: 4.5 miles round-trip, Elevation: 2,650 feet GPS Coordinates (Trailhead)- 44.3595°N, 73.8576°W. This could be a hike or a snow shoe depending on snow conditions. Poor weather will postpone to another date. Rating: B
