Glenwood Canyon, Colorado
Hanging Lake Trail

When you reach the railings, you're almost at the lake. At around the 1 mile mark the trail begins a steep climb up stairsteps carved out of the rock.

Unless you're in great shape, you'll probably need to stop and catch your breath a time or two along this final stretch. When you do, you can take in this incredible view of the canyon through which you just hiked.

The view downhill.  The bark on this tree is worn smooth, by years of visitors who've grabbed on, and hoisted themselves up the rocky steps.
