Bear Mountain - hiking and Oktoberfest day trip
Bear Mountain
05 October 2008

Sharon and I made a trek up to Bear Mountain this morning for what we thought would be a simple day of hiking and breathing fresh air. When we arrived at the mountain though, we were pleasantly surprised to see that Bear Mountain's Oktoberfest was happening that afternoon! Hooray! We set off on our hike up a lovely, albeit steep, trail with visions of frothy brews dancing in our heads. Two hours later we marched triumphantly from the woods and straight to the official Oktoberfest bar and snack tent. After a couple beers and some pierogies we ventured into the Bear Mountain zoo for a tour of the local wildlife (check out the picture of the awesome human exhibit!). A fantastic day only made better by a good nap, a nice dinner, and a hot shower. I love Oktoberfest.

100 in 6 budget: $1246
