| Patty, enjoying the quiet - Bierstadt Lake trail was not crowded, especially compared to Bear Lake and Nymph/Dream. | Bob and Dave, note Bob is carrying his snowshoes. The trail is well-packed so snowshoes are not really needed. | Bierstadt Lake, looking north. | Bierstadt Lake, looking east northeast | Patty and Dave. | ||

| Went "oooh, aaaah" at Bierstadt Lake, back to Bear Lake, then on to Nymph Lake. | Looking down on Nymph Lake, east-ish. | Looking south | Kodak moment at Nymph Lake overlook. | Bob at Dream Lake, 1/2 mile past Nymph Lake. 9957 feet according to Dave's GPS. | ||

| We spent 45 seconds here at Dream Lake, enough to take 2 photos, and ran back downhill to get out of the biting cold wind. This (and the parking lot) were the only windy spots all day. About 8 miles round-trip total, both trails were well-packed and plenty of snow with no bare spots, fun day! | ||
