My hike started at the Bear Lake Trailhead. From there, I hiked the Dream Lake - Lake Haiyaha Trail to Emerald Lake. The trails were really busy, especially near Bear Lake. The temps were in the mid to upper 20’s F. There was packed snow and ice on the trail. I rented micro spikes from a local mountain supply store. Well worth it. Spectacular hike!!

We started the morning at Sprague Lake to watch the sunrise and fortunate enough to see a moose herd eating in the lake. Then we adventured to Bear Lake and hiked past Alberta Falls to Mills and Jewel Lakes. It’s a 6+ mile uphill hike with some rocky trails but worth the effort. We were also fortunate to see a herd of elk at the tip of a jewel Lake. The round trip hike took us about 3hr and we walk at a relatively brisk pace. The views are spectacular!

This is the trailhead that you should choose if you are short on time at the Park. A lot of nice and interesting trails / sites radiate from this trailhead. Parking here gets filled up very early, so use the Park & Ride service take the free bus here.

Nice trail to Emerald Lake. Uphill quite a bit but some great scenery, some of the best on the east side. I think Dream Lake is the best in that 3 lake series. Fairly heavily trafficked.

This hike is mostly flat (one short section does have an incline) , and is really pretty. We visited later in the day (6 p.m.), and at that point it was not super crowded.

Awesome short hike, recommend early morning visit either by car or shuttle bus. We saw some ladies hiking in flip flops - bad idea especially if you take trail to Victoria Falls. Walking stick was very helpful. Snow still on trail late May. It may not melt til late June. The views of snowy peaks and the lake were awesome😃

We parked at the Stop and Ride and took the shuttle which eliminated having to worry about whether there was parking available at the Bear Lake parking lot. Shuttles run frequently. Note: even though masks are required, not everyone wore them, so take that into consideration because there is no limitations on number of folks on the bus.
We thoroughly enjoyed this easy hike around this beautiful lake with striking views! Expect to share this trail with lots of other visitors.

Bear Lake Trailhead is the starting point for many of RMNP’s most popular hikes including the easy 0.5 mile (0.8k) loop around Bear Lake, the 3.6 mile (5.8k) roundtrip hike to Emerald Lake that also passes by Nymph and Dream Lakes, and the 2.0 mile (3.2k) roundtrip to the powerful Alberta Falls, passing through many aspen groves.
Other popular hikes from this trailhead include Bierstadt Lake (4.0 miles/6.4k roundtrip), Lake Haiyaha (4.4 miles/7.1k roundtrip), the long climb up Flattop Mountain (8.8 miles/14.2k roundtrip) and Fern Lake (9.7 miles/15.6k roundtrip).
The trailhead also has a booth with rangers to provide assistance and trail guides, pit toilets and a fair amount of parking; however, the trails are so popular, parking is often a challenge and one may find they need to park at the remote parking site about 3.0 miles (4.8k) away and be shuttled on a bus to the trailhead. If you would like to find parking at the trailhead and avoid the worst of the crowds arrive very early or later in the day, preferably midweek. I had no trouble finding parking midweek arriving once around 5pm and another time about 30 minutes after sunrise.

Are there a lot of butterflies on this trail? Can you go off trail to photograph them?

Do I need to arrive super early on a Tuesday morning also? I read a lot of reviews that talk about parking lots filling up quickly. Is that every day or just mostly on the weekends? (Going mid-August)

Hi, about how long does it take to hike from Bear Lake to Mills Lake and back?
Escrita el 6 de abril de 2018
Hi, what will the weather here be like at the end of March? Will it be open to visitors or do the roads get closed leading to Bear Lake? Do you think there will still be snow? Can you tell I live in Florida? :)

Hi. Is the hike around Bear Lake fairly easy for a family with two small kids ages 2 and 5? Is it paved? Thanks.
Escrita el 30 de enero de 2018
Hi. The Bear Lake Trail would be a wonderful place for the kids to hike. I don't believe it was paved, but it's very flat with plenty of opportunities for the best family pictures! Keep track of them of course, but let them explore. You'll love it. The Rocky Mountain Nat'l park has a twitter page I believe where you can keep track of the crown level. The parking lot fills up fast, and you may have to park in Estes Park Garage and take the free trolley. We did.

How long does it usually take to finish this trail?
Escrita el 12 de junio de 2017
It's a half mile. Less than 30 min, if you stop to take pictures.

If you ride the shuttle bus from Estes Park do you still have to pay an entrance fee?
Escrita el 12 de mayo de 2017
We entered the park and took the shuttle from the park and ride lot. Only paid the $20/car.
I would imagine you would still have to pay an entrance fee. No one gets into the park without passing through the entrance gates.

Hello! I'm planning a trip in the first week of may, what should I expect from the weather? Will the trails still icy? Temperatures? And is it crowded during week days during that time? Tks.
Escrita el 28 de febrero de 2017
Springtime in the Rockies is highly unpredictable. In Colorado at that time of year, especially in the mountains, we never know if we'll get a summery day or get blasted by a blizzard until about 4 days out. Spring around here is when you really need to be prepared for all weather and conditions in terms of clothing and gear.
Even if the weather is nice, the trails will probably be muddy; at higher elevations, they will probably be ice-packed.
As far as crowds, you PROBABLY won't run into them so much during "mud season" because Trail Ridge Road will still be closed at that time. I usually expect April until mid-May to be the slowest time of year in general for Colorado tourist activities (with the exception being the Great Sand Dunes National Park - the weather is somewhat more predictable and pleasant during the spring in that part of the state).
