Ride Baby Bear from west to east as part of a peddally XC loop that includes Mama Bear, Papa Bear and the Goldilocks triangle on the North side of Galbraith. It's a fun way to find yourself near the summit to access the major flow trails.

       This is a fun trail along an open section of the mountain. You get panoramic views and wildflowers. The trails has a few tight corners to keep you honest. Usually nice and quiet.
