Hanging Lake Trail in White River National Forest
The Hanging Lake Trail offers an unforgettable hiking experience in Colorado's White River National Forest. The route follows a scenic canyon, with lush greenery and multiple footbridges crossing over Dead Horse Creek, leading to the striking turquoise lake. As you reach the top, you're rewarded with a breathtaking view of the hanging lake surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs, and a nearby waterfall cascading from Sprouting Rock. While the trail is moderately challenging due to its steep ascent, the stunning natural beauty at the summit is well worth the effort. #Hike #Canyon #Lake #Waterfall #River #Forest #Nature
