Unofficially named "Bear Paw Butte" shows up as Point 2465 on topographic maps. It is 1300 feet above the Chena Hot Springs resort, and offers a 270 degree view of the surrounding mountains, including Chena Dome. Although the hike is only about three miles round trip from the resort, it is a perfect hike for visitors to the resort, and/or a warm up hike for the larger peaks in the area.
