Bear Creek near Edison Lake

This is a hike I found through San Jose Fly Casters.
I guess you take a 4wd road to the trailhead and then start hiking.

Bear creek is one of the most beautiful streams that run along a series of trails mainly the Pacific Crest Trail and Bear Creek trail hence the name. The trail is a slow and steady trail that disappears for a couple of miles until you meet up with it again on the P.C.T. The creek has a reputation for variance in size depending on the season and period of the runoff. In early summer of 2003 I crossed it along the P.C.T. around 9,550ft. At the time it was about knee deep. Two years later it was passed on to me through a reliable source that the steam was gauged at 10 feet deep at this crossing in early spring!
Looks like some good pictures and fishing spots.
