Itinerary description

Even though this hike was an easy hike coming out of Bear Lake Pkg lot of Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park,it is one of the pretties. In my opinion, Emerald Lake was anti-climax, but the lakes, the views of the mountains, the streams, and the waterfalls were worth the trip. One of the pretties lake was Dream Lake with its clear water and trout swimming in the lake.
After Emerald lake, we headed to Lake Haiyaha and then to Glacier George pkg lot where we caught the bus back to Bear Lake pkg lot.
