Description

Bear Gulch is probably one of the more remote/obscure crags in the Bighorns. This area provides a lot of opportunity and potential for the ambitious looking for new lines. As of right now there are just a handful of routes, but the future looks good for this young limestone crag.

Getting There

From Sheridan, take highway 87 for 4 miles and continue on highway 335 for 3 more miles to the town of Big Horn. Drive through Big Horn, staying on 335 and continue for another 6.5 miles. At this point the pavement ends and the road turns to gravel. This is Redgrade Road and the forest service suggests a four wheel drive vehicle but a front wheel drive Honda Civic will get up there just fine. After 3-4 miles, you will cross the forest boundary marked with a large sign. 3.2 miles past this sign is a parking lot on the right side of the road with an A-frame wooden fence, this is the parking lot for Bear Gulch. A 15 minute hike will take you into a meadow overlooking of walls in Bear Gulch.
