"Hanging Lake, situated in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, is noted for its cleanliness and clarity." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"A short but steep, rocky ascent from the Glenwood Canyon Bike and Pedestrian Path leads to a vivid, waterfall-fed lake whose waters shimmer in shades of green and blue. The trail survived the Grizzly Creek fire intact, and current COVID-era rules require a paid permit, which has significantly reduced summer congestion and turned what is normally a crowded route into a peaceful, nearly private outing favored by teens and families." - Amiee White Beazley Amiee White Beazley Amiee White Beazley is a travel journalist and author who covers adventure, food, wine, and family travel.
