Rocky Mountain National Park - Bear Lake Road -- Bear Lake

Bear Lake Road -- Bear Lake

Bear Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park

Elevation 9,450 feet
The work on the trail around Bear Lake is complete and is totally accessible! This third trail around a lake (Lily and Sprague Lake also have accessible flat trails) is the most challenging as some of it does involve up and down hill sections on the far side of the lake. These sections are no steeper than a typical access ramp.
