#143 Bear Lake – Fall Colors – Longs Peak

#143 Bear Lake – Fall Colors – Longs Peak << Rocky Mountain National Park, CO >> The fall colors of 2008 were among the best I have ever seen, and this stand of aspens just north of Bear lake was truly outstanding. To find this location, go right on the trail around Bear Lake, go nearly past the aspens, then scramble up the rocks to find this vantage point. Standing on one of these rocks, aspens frame Longs Peak with a nice view across Bear Lake below. Take a deep breath – enjoy!!
