Hiking to Dream Lake: The Best Rocky Mountain National Park Day Trip from Denver

Rocky Mountain National Park — what a day trip!

I hiked to the aptly-named Dream Lake from Bear Lake Road, and it did not disappoint. Crystal clear water, and the kind of view that makes you stop mid-conversation.

If you're ever in the Denver area, I highly recommend this one. It's a pretty easy/moderate hike, so it works whether you're an experienced hiker or just want a solid payoff without a brutal climb.

Tip: book your timed entry for Bear Lake Road in advance when you're planning your trip — spots fill up.
