Bear Mountain is a mountain located in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California. The summit, located in Siskiyou County, is at an elevation of 6,411 feet (1,954 m). The highest point in Del Norte County is located just west of the summit.[3][4] A cirque named Devil's Punchbowl containing a tarn is located on the mountain's north side.[5] Due to its location near the Pacific Ocean, the mountain receives tremendous snowfall during the winter.[6]
