Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge Loop Trails
You’ll enjoy a walk through a collage of nature’s best: rainbow-making waterfalls, wildflower-bordered streams, cathedral-like forests, and mountain-mirroring lakes. Little wonder the trails near Bear Lake are Rocky Mountain National Park’s most popular. A camera is almost essential for this venture. Crowds can be avoided by starting the hike early in the morning.
