On Tuesday, the 15 of us started out with a 2 1/2 mile round trip hike to Hanging Lake. Hanging Lake is a jewel nestled in the Rocky Mountains! The hike was difficult and rocky, (1000 feet elevation gain), but the kids were ALL champs! We even had a 2 year old with us! I totally recommend this hike, the accomplishment of completing it WITH my family was one of my favorite parts of the whole trip!
all 15 of us! Friends since 1998!
We made it!
If you hike up about 5 minutes higher, you will find Spouting Rock where you can walk behind the waterfall!
I’m standing behind the waterfall. Can you see some of the kids?
At the bottom, the hike is done!
