Utah’s second largest freshwater lake, Bear Lake, lies on the border between Utah and Idaho. It is called the Caribbean of the Rockies because at certain times of the day it looks as if someone used a turquoise Crayola crayon on the water. My ancestors settled this area in the 1870's. Which reminds me. I should check the Laketown cemetery to see if I have relatives there. Back then this really was a place where you’d run into bears on a regular basis, not to mention Shoshone and other Native Americans. Today it’s a great place to go fishing or waterskiing, to ride a horse or a bicycle-built-for-four, to catch a campy play or a Wild West cookout, or to taste a fresh raspberry shake. It’s also a terrific place to reconnect with your family.
