    Directions to Trailhead

    The Indian, Shy Bear, and Quarry Loop is a 9.0 km moderately difficult hike in Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park. This hike is an excellent option for those seeking a mid-distance adventure. It’s likely too much for younger children, but older kids may enjoy it. The trail is lined with a vibrant forest full of ferns. We recommend visiting in the springtime when the waterfalls and creeks are flowing.
