Tips

Matthew

July 10, 2023

Bear Lake sits right at 11,070 feet elevation within the Holy Cross Wilderness. There are many ponds off the side of the Colorado Trail close to Bear Lake, but the actual lake is down the spur trail headed south. There are camping areas around the lake, but be aware that this is in a wilderness area and LNT principles should be practiced.
