This lake is hard to see from the road. There was not a lot of lakefront public areas to drive out to the lake.\u00a0<\/p>

Bear Lake is known as the Caribbean of the Rockies. The water is a beautiful turquoise color.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The next morning, we were up fairly early. We drove down to try to find a public area to actually reach the lake. It wasn’t so nice… oh well. We tried.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I told Joey another place I wanted to stop was at the Food Nanny store in SLC. Do you know who this is? My bestie Caroline is a HUGE fan, and so I wanted to make sure I checked them out. You know… when in Rome. Haha!\u00a0<\/p>

Of course I left with some goodies.\u00a0<\/p>
