Bear Creek Summit

California

About

Bear Creek Summit is a high point in Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve in California, about 2 miles from the community of Lexington Hills. Weather is mildest from late spring into fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 67°F in May and 79°F in September, with only a couple of wet days a month from June through September. The station sits slightly below the summit, so temperatures at the top may run a touch cooler. Several trails start close by. Madrone Knoll Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and Upper Pete Siemens Trail and Redwood Springs Trail are both within about a mile. Climbers can head to Lexington Rock, roughly 3 miles off.
