    Hanging Lake

    Today I had the day to myself.....no kids/husband. So I decided last minute to take the afternoon and ride out to Hanging Lake which is a very nice local hike. It was an absolutely perfect way to waste away 5 hours of my day. The ride alone from my house is 17 miles one way. Needless to say, I got my workout in and deserved every bite of homemade vanilla icecream once I got home.

    Beautiful pictures, especially the last one with the double waterfalls. The color of the lake water is almost tropical looking!
    Never regret anything that made you smile!

    Thank you so much! It is that same color too. I almost feel my camera didn't justify how bright the water is. You can see all the trout swimming around it's so clear. If for whatever reason, you head East on I-70, it's just a hop, skip and jump off the highway.

    THANK YOU!
    I wish I could have taken more but it was like Disneyland up there with all the people. There are a few other neat waterfalls in the area as well, but like I said.....traffic jam on the trails.

    Amazing photo of the lake? Is the water too cold to swim in it? I hate it when I'm near water and can't jump in :-(

    Yes it's a very desirable lake to want to swim in however the Forest Service says it's a no go. It's a VERY highly traveled trail and many a tourists hang out on the log in the middle of the lake (which is also a no no) and feed the trout cheetos (which is a double no no)..........it's kinda sad actually. Winter is the time to go see this lake with no one around. :) Plus it's more fun to hike in in snowshoes or stablizers.

    Cool report. You can swim if you don't get caught.
