Bear Lake
I had Thursday off and I got up early and did some easy hiking. I first went to Bear Lake, and then to Alberta Falls. So June in Rocky Mountain is still pretty snowy. And in some places it hasn't melted yet, and both of my destinations were such places. Bear Lake was mostly frozen still and the path still covered in snow. It made for some unique hiking.
Bear Lake is an incredibly short nature walk, though due to the snow, I only walked around half of the lake and went back the way I had come. I just wasn't feeling to secure in snow. I am not always the graceful sort and the last thing I wanted on my day off was to tumble into freezing cold waters. But it was such a pretty day that it was totally worth it. I love the drive to the lake and the walk was so much fun, and it was gorgeous anyways. Win-Win!
