This scenic drive through Rocky Mountain National Park culminates at the nature trail at Bear Lake, a half-mile loop. Flat terrain with gently rolling hills makes this an easy trek, best explored by snowshoe in winter. Hikers can also tackle nearby Emerald Lake’s moderate trail, 1.9 miles each way. The enchanting lake is framed by craggy peaks and towering pines.
