Glenwood Canyon, Colorado
Hanging Lake
At the top of the trail, you'll see a sign pointing to Spouting Rock. I
saved that for later. Go straight and you'll hit the boardwalk that
takes you around the outer edge of Hanging Lake.
This is pretty close to paradise... except for the crowds that will
likely be in your way as you walk around the lake.
A large log crosses the center of the lake. It's flat on one side,
allowing any brave (or foolish†) visitors to carefully walk out into the middle of
the lake for a picture.
Don't leave without walking all the way around to the far side of the
falls. If you go as far as you can, you'll end up almost underneath the
waterfall.

I'd sure like to see
the reference to "brave visitors walking on the log"
deleted...it's a shame to see what those "brave" visitors do
when they're up there...bringing dogs and 'swimming' or 'falling
in' when walking on the log...it's a shame to think what will
happen to this beautiful spot if folks don't take care of it
properly. Great pictures! We've decided hiking in
the winter is best ~ we can avoid the crowds, and enjoy the
scenery and quiet peacefulness.
