"This gorgeous, wheelchair and stroller accessible stroll is great for hikers of all abilities. There are plenty of benches and lookouts over the lake to stop and reflect. Enjoy the view - mountain peaks along the Continental Divide can be seen clearly from the east shoreline. Sprague Lake is a great place to see a variety of wildlife, but please help keep wildlife wild. Never approach or feed wildlife." - NPS
"The Bear Lake Trailhead is a gateway to many popular high elevation hiking destinations in Rocky Mountain National Park, including the Bear Lake Loop, Dream Lake, Emerald Lake, Mills Lake, Odessa Lake, Flattop Mountain and more!" - NPS

Great way to see very crowded parts of the park. We were able to see Bear Lake when there was no parking.
Recommend the 6 a.m. trip. Jennifer's the best!! Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! Saw a moose in Sprague Lake.
This was a 6 AM tour and worth every penny! Colton was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the park.! We were fortunate enough to see a couple moose! There was a family of 4 and my husband and I. Honestly, we felt like we were on a private tour! We would take it again!! Thanks for making this a memorable trip for us!
Excellent adventure! Saw lots of animals including a moose in Sprague Lake. Recommend the 6 a.m. trip. Jennifer is amazing!
We did the Bear Lake photo experience tour. I chose this tour specifically to have access to the Bear Lake corridor as the timed entry’s were sold out. Of course if you book with a tour you get in regardless. Bear Lake was stunning! We hiked around the lake on an easy trail. Unfortunately we didn’t see any wildlife on our tour but that wasn’t our first objective anyhow. This jeep tour was much more comfortable than the one we had taken the day before. Mostly because the seats were padded and they also had heaters blowing warm air keeping us nice and warm at 6 am. Highly recommend
Michael was a great guide and was a wealth of knowledge of RMNP. We learned about the history of the park and also about the wildlife. Plenty of stops for picture taking and restrooms. The weather was nice so the jeep was open for better viewing. The only con was that the seating faced right and left, not forward, so those with motion problems may be affected.
The Green Jeep tour was wonderful. Our toy guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Her love for the park inspired a deeper appreciation of its beauty and wildness than we could have achieved on our own.
Sam, our tour guide was amazing. We were so glad he drove so we could enjoy the scenery. We explored the park and went to a couple lakes. We had enough time to hike around the lakes. We saw a few elks on the way down the mountain. Highly recommend taking this tour.
It wasn’t Bear lake tour! We spent only 30 minutes at the lake. And we didn’t stop at Prague lake. It felt like drive more than a tour
Wonderful tour. Amazing way to see Bear Lake. We weren’t able to get a timed entry. We saw so many extra things & learned a lot about the area from our guide
Thank You for your excellent 5 star review for your Bear Lake Corridor tour. It is one of our most popular tours as the public MUST GET a timed entry. We provide our guests an easy way to see this sought after portion of the park with tours 5 days a week. Please join us on your next visit and try our Rocky Mountain Safari where we take you above tree line on the OLD FALL RIVER one way dirt road up to Alpine village and thru the park on Trail Ridge Road
