On the same day(13th March 2004), we visited the Bear Lake on Rocky Mountain National Park and pass by the town of Este Park. (No pics of Este Park, sorry). We originally planned to hike the Bear Lake trail, but the lake was completely covered with snow and the trails are also full of snow. I did not have water proof shoes on. It was my first time seeing snow and I was ecstatic. We walk on the snow on the lake itself and marveled at the wonderful scenery that surrounds us.
