Deep Upper Park Loop
This is the loop to do if you love a constant stream of amazing views from top to bottom. The sweat will be worth it! This strenuous adventure starts at Upper Park Lot K (Bear Hole). Note that access to this trailhead is closed on days declared “wet” by the City of Chico. If the gate is expected to be closed for hikes using this trailhead, the adventure will unfortunately be cancelled and full refunds will be provided.
Difficulty Level: Difficult
Distance: Approximately 5.2 miles round trip.
Elevation Gain: Approximately 1,100 feet.
Time: Approximately 4 hours.
This loop brings it all. Starting at Bear Hole, we’ll experience some of the wildest parts of Upper Bidwell Park. Don’t forget your camera because this loop will have some of the most photogenic views of the park – from Salmon Hole and Iron Canyon to top-of-the-canyon views along North Rim.
Trail Hazards: Uneven, rocky terrain. Steep drop-offs at view points along trail. Steep climb along Live Oak Trail which may require hands for balance & support. Strenuous climbs. Slippery when wet.
