Bear Lake: The Caribbean of the Rockies
Bear Lake straddles the Utah-Idaho border and is known for its striking turquoise waters that have earned it the nickname "the Caribbean of the Rockies." The lake is a popular summer destination for swimming, boating, and fishing, with sandy beaches and clear water that make it feel like an exotic getaway in the middle of the mountains.
The lake is roughly an hour and a half from Eden, making it a perfect day trip during your Utah vacation. Pack a cooler, grab beach towels from your vacation rental, and spend a lazy day on the shore.

Drive back to your Eden vacation rental tired and sun-kissed from a perfect day at Bear Lake. The turquoise water and mountain backdrop will have you planning your return trip before you even leave.
