Hanging Lake



Will and I decided to take a little day trip to celebrate our 6 months of marital bliss :) We drove to Glenwood Springs just an hour and a half away and had the most amazing day. We hiked up to a place called Hanging Lake. It is only a 1.5 mile hike but you climb over 1000 feet in elevation in that 1.5 miles. It was really steep and rocky and after a few short breaks (for me) we finally made it to the top. It was absolutely amazing! This coming from someone who doesn't always appreciate the beauty in nature, but this was beautiful for sure. The pictures definitely don't do it justice. But we turned a corner and way way way up on this mountain side was a lake, a beautiful, crystal clear water lake with water falling down from the rocks above. We were so blown away.



After our long, steep, wonderful hike we visited the Glenwood Hot Springs and soaked our (my) sore legs. We even took a ride down the waterslide together. It was the perfect trip and the perfect day.
