      @@zeon777us That's considered unusual behavior for a black bear. Usually they run! However, in that area many bears are "habituated" to humans and get their food from trash cans and other human sources in Sierra Madre. So they think of humans as animals who might supply food. Thanks for the reply!

    Great video! I remember doing that hike years ago. We had a mule deer almost run us over on the hike up, and when we reached the top, there was a mess of people up there. The observatory was open and there was a gentlemen there allowing people to view sunspots with his telescope. Awesome peak experience apart from the crowds! Can't wait to see it open back up to its former glory.

    That's awesome.
    Great hike but not for eUC riding.
    Very steep, rocky and a bit treacherous
    for MTB or eUC riding.
    Hike ON!

    Hey, ugh your dog is sniffing that bush(it's called poodle dog brush and it's worse than poison oak). Now you know why your hands were itching after that.
