Hanging Lake is a must-do hike in the Glenwood Springs area. It’s in Glenwood Canyon and hikes a short way up into a side canyon. The heavily used trail leads to a beautiful lake where waterfalls cascade into the lake at the far end. There is no swimming in the lake (or dogs allowed on the trail) to protect the travertine that is forming around the lake. The water in the lake is a clear greenish blue color.
A short ways above Hanging Lake is another interesting sight called Spouting Rock, where the water comes spouting out of the middle of a cliff.
