Many people choose Colorado as their winter vacation destination.

No need to worry if this is your first-time trying winter sports. Many Colorado natives choose to be a guide and will gladly show you the land they know like the back of their hand.<\/p>\n

\"Five<\/p>\n

In general, snowshoeing trails are either in a loop or an out and back path. The difference is in the elevation and track length. For beginners, the trails are often featured flat landscape on a well-groomed path. They are also popular, so you get to meet a lot of people doing the trek with you. Anyway, here are five beginner trails that you should try in Colorado.<\/p>\n

Bear Lake Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"most<\/p>\n

Bear Lake Trail is the most popular trek among all. And it\u2019s not without a reason. This trek is mostly flat and offers a gorgeous Rocky Mountain landscape. It\u2019s perfect for any expertise level, but mostly for beginners who just started snowshoeing. After all, it\u2019s not even a mile long.<\/p>\n

Dream Lake Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Dream<\/p>\n

The trail is not far from Bear Lake. It is very short, only 2 miles long. The trek is also very popular so it is very well-groomed but also can be quite packed at times. Anyway, since many treks intersect one another, it can be easy to get lost. It is best if you keep your GPS on and check it when you are unsure.<\/p>\n

Lily Pad Lake Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The pond may be frozen over, but the trail still offers the gorgeous view as it is in the summer. The trek itself is only 3.3 miles out and back. However, you may need the trekking poles here since the snow may be powdery, but there are sinkholes on the road.<\/p>\n

Glacier Gorge Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Glacier<\/p>\n

Located in the Rocky Mountain national park, this trail is one of the branches off from the Bear Lake Trail southward to Mills Lake. You can stay in this short trail, only 2.8 miles, and gaze at the ethereal beauty from the frozen waterfall. Or continue to Mills Lake for a more challenging trek.<\/p>\n

Monarch Lake Loop Trail<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a part of the Arapaho National Forest, this loop trail is quite popular for snowshoeing. The trail is accessible all year round, but the gate is not. You need to walk a couple of extra miles from the parking space. This 4.2 mile track is worth it since you can get in touch with nature. And if you\u2019re lucky, you can see some moose.<\/p>\n
