Bear Hill is a tough trail to categorize in that it is partially doubletrack and partially singletrack, and while a lot of the trail is probably of moderate difficulty, there are sections that could be considered very difficult. The summit in the middle doesn't have much in the way of views, but it feels good to get there nonetheless.
