Rocky Mountain - Bear Lake Road

Bierstadt Lake is located on a moraine north of Bear Lake Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. The trail is quite accessible and provides a moderately strenuous climb up 566 feet through an Aspen forest to the lake.

The Moraine Park Museum is south of the Beaver Meadows entrance station. Exhibits highlight and explain the park's geology and botany.

Sprague Lake was named for Abner Sprague, an early settler. The Sprague family operated a lodge from 1910 to 1940, introducing visitors to the nearby waters, meadows and trails. At the far end of the lake is a short, half-mile trail that leads to excellent views of the Continental Divide.
