Ranger-Led Hike to the Beaver Ponds: Beavers are fun animals to watch, but it's often hard to find them on your own. Rangers lead a special hike to the park's beaver ponds to show visitors where the beavers live and how they build their dams. It's especially rewarding for families with kids, but fun for all ages, and if you're lucky, a beaver may make an appearance.
Bear Lake Nature Trail: This easy nature walk around Bear Lake is a good opportunity for parents (using the park's trail-guide booklet) to talk about Rocky's plants and animals with their children. It's also a good opportunity for kids to see animals such as snowshoe hares and chipmunks, and by peering down into the lake's water, they may even catch a glimpse of the Colorado state fish: the greenback cutthroat trout.
