Bierstadt Lake Parking Area and Shuttle Stop


Located along Bear Lake Road, there is a small parking area and shuttle stop located at the Bierstadt Lake Trailhead. During the summer season, many enjoy parking their vehicle at Park & Ride and riding the shuttle to either Bear Lake Trailhead or Bierstadt Trailhead for the hike to Bear Lake.

The Bierstadt Lake Parking Area has about about dozen parking spaces, with a shuttle stop along the Bear Lake Shuttle Route, and a vault toilet.

Planning to hike on the Storm Pass Trail? The Bierstadt Lake Shuttle Stop is the closest stop. There is a short trail that will take you to the Storm Pass Trailhead.
