Bear Lake Trail begins off a dirt road that requires a high-clearance vehicle for the last section. Set off up the trail, climb through the forest, and reach the alpine terrain and Bear Lake. Bring your bathing suit and towel for a cold dip in the alpine Bear Lake, and bring your camera for photos at the saddle at the end of the trail.
