Bear and Sprague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and a 14 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road leads to the Bear Lake Trailhead.
At Bear Lake, a 1 km. graded accessible path around the edge of the lake is a popular low-impact trail. Aspen groves along this trail provide outstanding autumn colors in early September --- a colorful contrast to distant, gray, snow-tipped mountain peaks.
Sprague Lake (on Bear Lake Road , about 5 km. before the Bear Lake Trailhead) offers a second popular accessible lakeside path. The still water of this lake mirrors a panoramic vista of the mountains of the Continental Divide. Abner Sprague, an early homesteading settler, created a trout pond by damming a mountain stream, and colorful Eastern Brook Trout still swim in shallow feeder streams.
Sprague Lake Hike - Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado
Part of Day 3 of my Colorado Trip. Took my kids on their first hike up around in the Rocky Mountain Nation Park. Started with the Sprague Lake trail and finished on the Bierdstadt Trailhead. Was only a couple miles, but for the first time hiking for the kids they did an amazing job.

Hiking Bear Lake In Rocky Mountain National Park
We weren’t prepared for hiking and the weather at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, we ended up hiking in thundersnow! Driving from Denver where it was beautiful and sunny the weather changed so much by the time we got to the park (RMNP). We tried to hike until thunder and lightning started falling. So we drove to Boulder to get dinner then headed home. I promised Gig we’d go back one day when the weather was better,

Emerald Lake Trail - Rocky Mountain National Park
If you have ever wanted to visit Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, consider it's number #1 rated easy-moderate hike, the Emerald Lake Trail. Under 4 miles round trip and you pass 4 breathtaking alpine lakes on the hike. One of my favorite easy trails in the entire parks system.
These are 3 things that everyone OBVIOUSLY needs to consider before just driving out to do a hike. There are MANY other considerations to be made, but these 3 will at least get you started. These clips are from some gopro ramblings when I spent a week exploring Rocky Mountain National Park earlier this June.

Photographing Dream Lake in Winter | Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
I decided to snowshoe up to Dream Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado on this cold and WINDY February day after some fresh snowfall. It was absolutely beautiful! The size of the surrounding mountains, the snow whipping around everywhere, and the formations in the ice of Dream Lake were really special. In the end, I captured two images of ice patterns that I'm very happy with. Eventually, my batteries died a premature death and I had to head home. It was a good day!

Cub Lake Hike , Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and after a 1 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road, a small spur road to the right leads to the Cub Lake Trailhead.
The Cub Lake Trailhead is at 2450 m. above sea level, and the 3.7km. hike to Cub Lake only requires a 165 m. increase in elevation. The first section of the trail is level as it crosses the western edge of the Moraine Park grasslands. The trail then climbs steadily through aspen and conifer woodlands, and eventually emerges at an area of tall wind-swept grasses. Beyond, surface water lily plants encircle the shallows of Cub Lake ---- the cobalt-blue center of the lake is plant-free. Interestingly, a clear narrow band of lake water bisects the encircling band of lily plants. Though this circular band looks as if a speedboat had cut it, it is in fact a natural phenomenon.
Beyond Cub Lake, a downhill trail eventually meets the Big Thompson River at The Pool junction. From there, a slightly downhill hiking trail parallels the river back to the Cub Lake Trailhead for a total loop hike of about 10 km. Along this return trail, the path crosses several large landslide areas, and passes through immense tumbled boulders in the Arch Rocks area.

Emerald Lake Hike, Rocky Mountain National Park, CO, USA
The Rocky Mountain National Park is located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, USA, close to the community of Estes Park. From Estes Park, the Rocky Mountain National Park Headquarters at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center is a 6km drive to the west on Route 36. From there, the junction to Bear Lake Road is a further 2 km along Route 36 on the left side, and a 14 km drive along the scenic Bear Lake Road leads to the Bear Lake Trailhead.
Since the Bear Lake Trailhead is at 2871 m. above sea level, the 2.9 km. trail to Emerald Lake involves only a further 208 m. gain in elevation. Along the way, the trail passes Nymph Lake after 0.8 km., and Dream Lake after 1.8 km. Views from the trail include Flattop Mountain, Hallett Peak and Glacier Gorge. In early September, just before the first snowfalls of the coming winter season, large groves of aspen provide brilliant splashes of chrome yellow and salmon-pink color.

Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Sprague Lake Hallett Peak & Flattop Mountain - Day 2 of 5 ????
Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Sprague Lake with views of Ottis Peak, Hallett Peak, Tyndall Glacier and Flattop Mountain Day 2 of 5. Abner Sprague opened Sprague Lake Lodge from 1910 to 1940.
We went to Endovalley Picnic area and hiked to Chasm Falls before coming to Sprague Lake this was a nice easy hike. We were staying at Estes Park just East of this location.
Amie and I loved hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.
“The trailhead for the Sprague Lake Trail is located off Bear Lake Road, roughly 5.5 miles from the turn-off at Highway 36. Due to the extreme popularity of the Bear Lake Road area, you may want to consider using the free park shuttle to reach the trailhead during peak tourist season.
Although the park sign at the trailhead states that the trail is a half-mile walk around the lake, the length is actually closer to nine-tenths of a mile. The route is virtually flat, travels over a hard packed gravel surface, and is considered to be wheelchair accessible and suitable for the entire family.”
“Sprague Lake is a scenic lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, located on the south side of Glacier Creek, about two miles south of the Hollowell turnoff. The half-mile walk around the lake is wheelchair accessible and features boardwalks and bridges with views of Flattop Mountain and Hallet Peak. The lake provides a pleasant area for brookie fishing.[1]“
