  • Hiking the Grizzly Bear Creek trail to Black Elk Peak, (the highest point east of the Rockies) in western South Dakota. At 15 miles out and back, Grizzly Bear Creek offers solitude for the majority of the trail until you get closer to the top and intersect with the more popular trail 9.

    I do admire your determination. I too forget things> I have found it helpful to make a master list of everything I need for my trips. When I discover I forgot something I add it to the master list for future trips. It is an on going process but it has helped me travel for comfortable.

    Well if this isn’t the ULTIMATE answer to the Man vs Bear question, I don’t know what is. Hope that gets its own little segment! Way to represent us Ken!

      So true! I don’t think a bear would have let me use his battery charger. They can be such jerks! 😉

      @@trailaddictSD The end with the flashlight lighting up the trail looked really cool!! Just a thought, but a can of bear spray might be a good investment. Would work great against mountain lions, aggressive dogs, etc..., you'd probably never need it, but I look at it like a concealed carry. Would rather have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it!
