Bear Lake

Bear Lake is higher (9,450 feet) and the thin air made even the mostly flat walk something of a challenge for sea level folks. I read that the lake was formed during an ice age by a glacier.

It is a beautiful  place but there were only a few others there on that fine evening when we visited.


We were a little surprised to find patches of snow beside the trail that encircles this lake.

Most anytime we were at the really higher altitudes, it was cooler, but we were never cold.
