二、園區登山口(Trailhead)：

(一)、Bear Lake Trailhead ：位在Bear Lake Road的最底端，是園區內非常熱門的景點之一，有一不算小的停車場，但在夏天旅遊旺季通常一大早就無車位，其實車子可停在4哩外的停車場，再搭免費的接駁車(Shuttle bus)來此。

Bear Lake距停車場僅250呎，環湖一周約0.6哩(1公里)。

Moraine Park 是山谷中的一片草原，有小溪流過。早期 Moraine 家族在此蓋牧場牧牛，後來終因天候太惡烈而放棄。如今這片草原是Elk 最愛聚集之地，當然也常常聚集很多觀賞Elk的遊客。小溪裏肥美的鳟魚是甩釣 Fly Fishing 的天堂，只是魚必須放生(Catch and Release)。

草原上密密麻麻的可都是 Mule Deer 哦！
