Lair O’the Bear is a great spot for sessions for those who want the feel of being in the mountains without traveling up steep winding roads. It is also a great spot for those who would like that mountain feel as well as a river. It is located west of Morrison CO only about a 10 minute drive into the mountains.
Best time of year for this location:
This mountain location Is beautiful all year round and was easy to access even in the winter. The mountain views and evergreen trees make it a perfect winter location when most trees in the Denver area are dead.
Best time of day for this location:
I book sessions at this location for 2-3 hours before Denver’s sunset time since the mountains block the sun a little earlier.
Parking:
There is one large parking lot for this park. It is typically best to park at the far side away from the road since I normally start the session on the path at that end of the parking lot. If however, you need to use the restrooms (outhouse) they are located closer to the start of the parking lot.
Family friendliness:
This is a great spot for family sessions with many beautiful spots close to the parking lots.
