Bear Lake UT/ID

After a fantastic week with Eva, Barney, Della, Parker, and Danielle in Ogden, we headed up Logan Canyon with the intention of camping for a few days at Bear Lake. Reluctantly passing up the opportunity to fish in the enticing Logan River, or stopping for a fresh raspberry shake that the area is known for, we spent considerable time trying to locate a campsite. The idea was that we would get settled in and then treat ourselves later. We tried numerous campgrounds (some very appealing ones) without success - sadly,they either had no suitable vacancies, were poorly maintained, or otherwise unworkable for us. So we ended up traveling all the way to Pocatello and checking in to a motel for the night. We were disappointed that we weren't able to enjoy Bear Lake - aptly nicknamed the "Caribbean of the Rockies" because of the color of the water. Although the pics don't realistically reflect the true color of the water, if you were to view them without being told, you could easily conclude that it is a spot in the Caribbean.
