Description
This photo was taken by Nava Thompson during sunset at Bear Lake RMNP Colorado. The easy trail goes around the lake with several places to stop and take photos. There are a few benches placed around the trail. Rocky Mountain National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife. In the higher alpine areas, one can find yellow-bellied marmots and pikas. Larger mammals that inhabit the park include elk, bighorn sheep, black bears, mountain lions, mule deer, and moose. During the fall, visitors often flock to the park to witness the elk rut. July and August are the warmest months in the park, where temperatures can commonly reach the 80s. In summertime Thunderstorms sometimes appear in the afternoons, and visitors should plan on staying below tree line when they occur. Heavy winter snows can begin around mid-October, and last into April. While the snow can melt away from the lowest elevations of the park quickly, deep snow is found above 9,000 feet (2,700 m) in the winter, causing the closure of Trail Ridge and Fall River roads during the winter and early spring. Most of the trails are under snow this time of the year, and snowshoeing and skiing become popular. Springs tend to be wet, alternating between rain and occasional light snow. Light snow can occur as late as July in the higher regions. The west side of the park typically receives more precipitation than the drier east side.
