Best Hike Ever

I know I have said this before….but this time I really mean it!  We took about a 1.5 hour trip to near Glenwood Springs to take a hike to Hanging Lake.  Several people had recommended this hike so we were game.

We walked up above the lower falls to Sprouting Rock Falls.

It was fun to walk under the falls.

After walking under the Sprouting Rock Falls we sat at the top overlooking Hanging Lake.

No fishing at the lake is allowed, but the water was crystal clear and there were lots of trout swimming around.

It was a bit strenuous hiking up to the lake but only 1.25 miles.  We absolutely loved this hike, the lake and the falls.

  3. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my
    own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  4. Sweet blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News.
    Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
    I've been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Cheers

  5. I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of
    your website? Its very well written; I love what youve
    got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an
    awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  7. I am really loving the theme/design of your web site.
    Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues?

    A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not operating
    correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
    Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?
