Landform features, erosion, and deposition

• Landforms here are eroded by bear creek mostly because water weathers and erodes rock and can make abonsion that can break rock by colliding on each other.

• The land breaks down and rivers change diction or widens and deepens.

• Lair of the bear deposition is inthe water because it deepens it self to low down but there areno carters to lower it on land.

Originally known as the Mountain Nook Ranch, early Swedish settlers including "Rutabaga

Johnson" delivered fresh produce to the area's summer residents in the early 1900s.  Limited

grazing replaced farming by the 1930s, which has allowed the disturbed areas to revert to the wild.  In the northeast corner of the parking lot, lilac bushes and other domestic plants mark the site of a long gone ranch house.  The canyon floor still reveals

remnants of the old timber hauling road that became the main route to Evergreen.  The park

was purchased by Jefferson County Open Space in 1987.

When I was there

When I was there we took a walk to find a place to have lunch. After some of us had lunch we went to see the river called bear creek. I touch a plant. I think it was algae. Then some kids splash some water on there face. Then we went on a walk on a trail. When we got to a street we crossed it to get on a bus to go back to school.

Summary

Everything of lair of the bear is wonderful. We did things like walk on a trail. The land formations are special like devil’s tower because it is tall. How bear creek is important in the ecosystem. It gives shelter and water to animals that live there like the water ouzel. People come for fishing, taking a walk on trails, biking, taking picnics, and field trips. Lair of the Bear is a real fun place to go to.
