The Bear Lake Area along with the Glacier Gorge region are the crown jewel of Rocky Mountain National Park. Some of Rocky Mountain National Park's best hiking and photography is located in this region of Rocky. Many of Rocky Mountain National Park's most iconic locations are found along trailheads emanating from Bear Lake and Glacier Gorge.
Astounding views of Hallet Peak, The Cathederal Wall, Flattop Mountain and Longs Peak can all be found in this area of Rocky Mountain National Park. From both a visitors as well as a photographers perspective there are few places with more impressive view than Dream Lake, The Loch, and Bierstadt Lake. This entire region of Rocky Mountain National Park is chock full of impressive lakes and peaks and is certainly my favorite area of Rocky to photograph.
