Description
Left Hand Fork-East Fork Bear Trail follows an adjacent stream through open glades and meadows to Allsop Lake. It is a fairly gentle, rising trail and involves no river crossings. Nice views of the "Falls" apear 1/4 mile from the junction. The lake itself is located just under the crest of the Uintas and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful wildflower meadows in the area.

Basic Directions
Roughly 52 miles northeast out of Kamas (2 miles north of the Bear river Ranger Station) turn east on to the North Slope Road (marked with a large sign reading "Bear River R.S. 2, Mill Creek G.S. 7, Blacks Fork River 20, E Fk Boy Scout Camp 6.") Two miles on this good gravel road take a right turn at a major road junction (marked by a sign pointing the way to the East Fork Bear river). Follow this road for four miles, at which point there will be a signed road junction. The right fork leads down to the Boy Scout camp -- the left fork goes 1/4 mile to the East Fork of the Bear River. The trail runs along the stream where you will find old cabins tucked in the trees. Going on south for about four miles you come to a trail junction. The left fork goes to Allsop Lake and the right fork goes to Norice and Priord Lakes.
