Glenwood Canyon, Colorado
Hanging Lake - Spouting Rock

As you leave the lake, backtrack to the cut-off for Spouting Rock. It's just a short hike off the main trail, although it will take you uphill, once again.

Glenwood Canyon Colorado, Spouting Rock

The spouting rock is the source of water, that cascades into Hanging Lake. Here, the water pours out of a hole in the middle of a rock wall! You can walk underneath the falls without getting wet.

Glenwood Canyon Colorado, Spouting Rock

There's a great view of Spouting Rock from either side... However, if you pass underneath the falls, you'll also need to squeeze through a narrow passage between a boulder and the canyon wall.

After your visit to Hanging Lake and Spouting Rock, head back down the trail. When you return to your car, take a look at the time. There's really only one more destination worth a visit today (Colorado National Monument, in Grand Junction). If it's still early in the day, you may want to spend some more time in Glenwood Canyon. Rent a bike and ride through the canyon (on the trail that runs beside the interstate and the Colorado River), or tackle another trail. If it's getting late, hop back on I-70 and head west to Grand Junction and Fruita.
