Before going please note:
This trail is a steep trap rock trail that would be impassible in the winter. It might be difficult for dogs due to the amount of jagged and loose rock and would be dangerous for young children. This spot was chosen because Grizzly Bear needs to be as close to the sky as he can get.

Mythical Animals: Grizzly Bear and the Milky Way
(Shoshone – Great Basin)
One day long ago, Black Bear, chief of the animals, was foraging for food in an anthill. Grizzly Bear was hungry and watching from high above on a mountain. He came down and challenged Black Bear for the food. Black Bear wanted to share the food but Grizzly wanted to fight. Eventually after many blows with her paws, Black Bear won and ordered Grizzly Bear to leave the land forever. He had broken the law and was banished. With his head held low, he climbed the dark mountains going higher and higher. Snow began falling and covered his fur, but he paid no attention and still climbed higher pausing every now and then to shake the snow off. The snow glittered around him and he continued to climb into the night wishing he could do one last thing for his people.
As the animal people looked up into the sky that night, they saw in wonderment a long snowy trail that had never been there before. At the end of the trail was a shape made of seven stars. They recognized the shape immediately as the great Grizzly Bear.
“That trail across the sky is the snow Grizzly Bear shook from his back as he climbed. It marks the path that all of us must follow when we leave the earth to go to the hunting grounds in the sky. Even though he was banished, Grizzly Bear did one last good thing for his people,” said Black Bear. “He has shown us the way to the sky land and has waited at the end so that we know the right road to travel when we leave this life.”
When Grizzly Bear entered the sky land that night he created the Milky Way. The seven stars of the Little Dipper outline the entire constellation of the Little Bear (Ursa Minor)
Clues:
Park in the small parking area up on the left, just past Mirror Lake. Follow the White Trail across 691. Cross the wooden bridge. Pass the old stone fountain on your left. Soon you will see double blue blazes ahead of you on the left. Take the trail just before the blue blazes. You can see on the tree that the blazing was cut off, perfectly. This trail is also blazed blue and heads uphill. As you climb, Southington and Cheshire will come into view on your left. Keep climbing. The view expands as you climb. Keep climbing. Finally you will come to a wide notch strewn with huge boulders with rock walls on each side. When you come to the large “sun rock, sit and rest on the sun and enjoy the view. Grizzly Bear is waiting, tucked under the sun on your right, ready to create the Milky Way. Be on the lookout for one of the stars he shook off his back. Create your own Milky Way.
