    Hiking

    A natural wonder surrounded by canyon walls. Hanging Lake is a rare example of a travertine (limestone) geological formation that gives the water its aquamarine and turquoise colors.

    Since the lake became more popular over the years, there is now a permit system to reduce the masses visiting this sensitive environment. You can get a permit here: visitglenwood.com/hanginglake
