Alternate Ascent: Insted of ascending via Amphitheater trail, continue into Gregory Canyon, cross the parking lot and ascend via the Saddle Rock Trail. This is not as steep and joins the other route pretty quickly.
Alternate Descent: From the Ranger/Green Bear/ Green Mtn. West Ridge junction, turn left (south) down Green Bear. Descend into Bear Canyon and continue descending to the east. The Bear Canyon trail intersects the Mesa Trail. Turn left, north, and continue on the Mesa Trail back to Chautauqua. Reverse for an alternate ascent.
