Little Bear Creek

This is the first of 3 sub-sections of section 8.   Flatside Wilderness is in the center of the OT section 8...  so this section is from mile 160.4 (Hwy 7) to the first encounter of Flatside (FR 124).  It is 8.4 miles long and is mostly uphill from the Hwy 7 crossing.

The elevation at the crossing of Hwy 7 is just under 1000 feet and the FR124 road crossing is about 1600 feet.  There is quite a bit of "up and down" so the overall change in elevation over this whole 8 mile segment is probably close to 1000 feet (cumulative gain in elevation).
