Water runs down alongside the Bear Gulch Trail as it makes its way to the South Chalone Creek. Its a nice hike in the winter or spring when water is flowing over the rocks and cascades.

Heading up Bench Trail.
The trail descends from the Bear Gulch area to the South Chalone Creek and Bench Trail. Its one of the better shaded trails in the park.

Longer grasses can be found around the creeks in the winter and spring when there is more water flowing through the area.
Hiking along the bench trail, you follow the dry creek bed for a long time. The Chalone Creek is dry a lot of the year, but at other times it has water flowing in it.
