Re: Suggestions for this weekend

Hike from Chantry to Devore or West Fork trail camp...

Bear Creek from Jarvi Vista (Hwy2)

Anyone have any experience with Bear Creek from the Crest? I was thinking of dropping in somewhere around Jarvi Vista and heading South down Bear Creek. What can I expect besides poison oak and pot farms? It a nice looking canyon.. Thanks!
