点评:The Bear Lake Trailhead is the starting point of some of the best hikes in RMNP. Bear Lake is located right at the trailhead and is easy to visit but there are so many even more spectacular lakes that can be reached from here although it will require a moderately strenuous amount of effort but it is so well worth it. If you can, you definitely should go on a longer hike. We hiked from here to beautiful Dream Lake. You could carry on to Emerald Lake which is probably the most popular hike in the park but we instead made the longer hike to Lake Haiyaha. It is a longer hike and requires scrambling over rocks and boulders around the lake but it is less busy and really spectacular. We could have returned on the same trail which would have made for a 4.5 mile out and back hike but decided to turn it into a 6.7 mile hike by taking a less traveled connecting trail to the Glacier Gorge Trail and returned to the Glacier Gorge Trailhead via beautiful Alberta Falls. You can then use the shuttle to get back to the Bear Lake Trailhead or to the Park and Ride Lot. Be aware that a timed entry reservation needs to be made in advance to access Bear Lake Road. It is best to get here early in the morning after sunrise to avoid the building crowds. If you aren’t here first thing in the morning, don’t expect to find an open spot at the trailhead. Don’t waste time like we did and just park at the Park and Ride Lot and take the shuttle which runs every 10-15 minutes.
