On on second day we head into an area know as Bear Lake and with our early morning start we catch one of the reasons for this name…
We will reach the trail head at ~7:30AM and take the left path where most that travel here go right to Bear Lake itself and then turn back.
Our first planned photo stop is Nymph Lake which takes us about 20 minute to reach since do stop to enjoy the views and take photos along the way,
About an hour into our morning hike, we reach a point on this path where you can split off toward Lake Haiyaha as well as Bear Lake but we are not headed toward either on this hike.
We will reach Dream Lake a few minutes later…
Onto Emerald Lake next which puts us about 2 hours into the hike now. Yea, a slow pace but we enjoy the journey as much as the destination…
Time to head back but we will also enjoy the hike down as well as the light change changes the views. So, here we are back at Dream Lake around 10AM.
Around 10:30 we get back to Nymph Lake
We are back to the Trail Head at 10:45 and the parking lot is “Packed”; sure glad we started early.
Now you might ask what views between the lakes was there to see; who about this one…
Time to go enjoy more of the park in others areas which will be covered in our next post…
