Right at 12,400 feet elevation is Bear Lake; it rests on the eastern base of the south ridge of Mount Harvard. The lake stays frozen late into spring and is a great addition to the 14er summit trails around the area once the summer dry season opens up.

With all the hiking it takes to get up to the summit of Mount Harvard, the runnable stretch of trail to and from Bear Lake is a great way to open up the legs.
