Bear Lake Valley
The area includes some of Utah’s most scenic spots as you wind your way through forested canyons and powder meadows, past winter waterfalls and switchback snowy peaks 9,000 ft above sea level, to breathtaking views of the lake itself located between the Tetons and the Uinta Mountains. The 6.5-mile Beaver Creek trail is a good starting point, and keep an eye open for the more challenging Garden City trail which provides a good opportunity for seeing Utah wildlife, while leading you to both the Sinks Road Trail, with its many turnoffs allowing prime exploration, and the 34-mile St. Charles Canyon/Fish Haven Loop, which has proven itself a destination for winter thrill-seekers.
