Nestled in the beautiful Glenwood Canyon, just a stone's throw away from Glenwood Springs, Hanging Lake is a true gem for all the hiking enthusiasts and nature lovers out there. This captivating lake, recognized as a National Natural Landmark, owes its stunningly vibrant color to the carbonates left behind by Bridal Veil Falls.

After trekking 1.2 miles and conquering a 1,000-foot climb, you finally arrived at Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon. Once there, you leisurely strolled along a well-built boardwalk that provided breathtaking panoramic views of the lake. Right at the start of the boardwalk, a sign caught your attention, pointing you 200 feet higher to the magnificent Spouting Rock. This impressive waterfall gushes out from a rock in the canyon, gracefully flowing into Bridal Veil Falls. I wonder, did you dare to venture behind the waterfall and catch a glimpse of it from the opposite side as well?
