Come celebrate the thrill of human powered recreation in the beautiful High Sierra village of Bear Valley located at 7,000 feet along scenic Highway 4 between Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. A variety of outdoor activities including rock climbing, road cycling, mountain biking, flatwater kayaking, trail running and disc golf will blend into an exciting weekend of adventure, education, competition and fun. Then on Saturday night everybody is invited to the "All-You-Can-Stuff" Barbeque for prizes and cheer. It doesn't matter whether you "pull, pedal or paddle" regularly, or simply just want to try a new outdoor sport in a safe and supportive environment, the Bear Valley Adventure Sports Festival has something for everybody.
