Bear Lake Trail

Bear Lake is one of the more popular destinations in the Rocky Mountain National Park, which is already one of the most trafficked National Parks in the US. Sunrise is probably the only time you can get it to yourself (it’s big enough to share with the few photographers and their tripods who will be there). Watching the colors change with the sunrise, the mountains beyond come into view and light up, the birds start singing, and the lake start reflecting – you will write a song about it when you are there (but hopefully not sing it too loud to break the peace).
