If you're planning a trip to Bear Lake, the first phone call ought to be to Bear Lake Lodging. Whether you're a party of two or a group of 30+; they have the perfect accommodations. They put us up in the Burgon Cabin with 6 bedrooms, 2 family rooms and 3 bathrooms on 3 levels with breathtaking view in all directions. Our 6-year old grandson put it best when he excitedly said to his buddies out on a hike "guys, you gotta get used to this view - it's spe-tacular!"
Another great resource is Melinda at Bear Lake Valley CVB. She is a great resource for pretty much everything Bear Lake has to offer, from special events, to lodging, to activities to places to eat, etc. etc.

It's easy to see why Bear Lake is commonly called "The Caribbean of the Rockies". |

| View from the front door. This was a wonderful place to spend time discussing the latest adventures with a kitchen, dining area and family room big enough for all 29 of us. |
After spending time in an RZR last weekend in Moab, I was really looking forward to the contrast of the sand and slickrock to the forest of the mountains surrounding
Bear Lake.
 |
| RZR 800 we rented from Bear Lake Fun. They are a great place to rent all kinds of water toys as well as all types of 4-wheelers - right in Garden City. Bear Lake is 20 miles long and 8 miles wide with 48 miles of shoreline so they have 3 other locations around the lake. Two other families in our group also rented from them and were impressed with their customer service. |

Four very dusty, dirty but pleased friends after several hours of jeeping and 4 wheeling.
(There's that gorgeous lake again!) |
 |
| In all of our trips to Bear Lake, we had never made time to visit the famous Minnetonka Cave. In fact, it was thanks to the suggestion of Melinda with Bear Lake Travel Council, that we visited there. The above picture is the walkway to the entrance of the cave; very cool, especially for the kids and much less work to get to than Timpanogos Cave. |
 |
| The majority of us had never seen Minnetonka Cave before so we really had a great time. |
 |
| Monday morning before we left, several of us biked the perimeter of the Bear Lake - 50 miles. This gave us some different perspectives of the lake. Can I just say WOW!! |
Thanks to some of our wonderful friends for sharing a fun, exciting, memorable weekend with us at Bear Lake!!
