Shadow of the Bear!!!


A Sapphire Valley area fall treat is the annual ‘shadow of the bear’! This phenomenon is about to take place near Whiteside Mountain where the autumn light creates a shadow shaped like a bear.

The shadow of the bear shows up from mid-October through early November as the sun sets behind Whiteside Mountain between Sapphire Valley and Highlands.

It's best seen on clear days around 5:30 p.m., with the show lasting for about a half-hour. Tourists and photographers hoping to see it often gather at the Rhodes Big View overlook along Highway 64, a little more than 5 miles from the Resort.
