In the second picture, our place is just "round the corner".
Haven't done the Bear run trail from the top, but definitely have done the bottom portion. We walk down the creek from our place and used to spend considerable time there when we were younger. My favorite fishing area is just upstream 100 yards from where Bear Run enters the main creek. Very beautiful area of the canyon. Lot's o' trout where the run runs into the main creek. That's where a bunch of individuals got caught setting traps and hauling out pounds and pounds of trout....they seem to mock spawn there every Fall (especially the brown trout). I'll try to find an image and post it where the run enters the creek.
Edit: Actually I'm a bit confused. That's the sign they have up walking back to the parking lot from the Barbour Rock trail? Didn't realize it was called the Bear Run trail, as Bear Run is a good mile or so away, just before you get to Colton Point. Guess I'll have to investigate this Fall when we close the place up.
You should have gone down to our place, my brother (the one you met) and SIL are down there until Tuesday, I think.
