Bear Lake is right at the Bear Lake trailhead. It has got to be the easiest lake to get to in all of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is the start point of multiple other hikes including Flattop Mountain. Bear Lake is really pretty and you can catch amazing mountain reflections off of the water if it is still. Because it is an easy hike, get there early or it will be you and a million other people. The hike around the lake itself is very steep in parts but the side closest to the parking lot is very flat. To get to the Bear Lake trailhead, get there early or it might be hard to find a parking space. We went past the sign that says the parking lot was full and ended up with the last spot. That comes from good living.
The park rangers were extremely nice (and there are a lot of them). This is an easy place to get started in RMNP.
