Bear Mountain is a peak in the Tehachapi Mountains, near Tehachapi, California.

The mountain is north of Bear Valley Springs and west of the Tehachapi Loop, a spiral on the railroad line through Tehachapi Pass. California condors, mountain lions, mule deer, and bobcats can be found among the sugar pines trees. [3]

Much of the mountain is on land owned by The Nature Conservancy. [4]
