Hike #38 - Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

Long's Peak in the background. We hiked there the day prior.

       Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular places to visit in the park.  The half mile trail around the perimeter of the lake is easy and enjoyable for families.  The lake sits at 9,450' and was formed from a glacier.  There were endless photo opportunities around this lake.  We arrived early before the crowds and had no trouble finding a parking place.
