Yes, there are bear lockers at the trail head. Make sure you arrive early in the morning. It is a very popular trailhead, and when the parking lot fills, you might have a bit of a walk after finally finding a parking spot down the road. This is one of my fave hikes...it's just beautiful!

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. John Muir
