Starting/ending point for a short nature trail looping around a scenic, high-altitude lake with connecting trails for those looking for longer more difficult terrain. The trailhead in the Rocky Mountain National Park is located at the end of Bear Lake Road, 9 miles from the turn-off at Highway 36.

Due to the extreme popularity of the area you may want to consider using the free park shuttle to reach the trailhead during peak tourist season.

Large parking lot at trailhead. Shuttle service also available.
