About
Hanging Lake is a moderate 2.60-mile hike with an elevation of 7145 feet, typically taking around 2 hours to complete. The trail is most accessible from September through November, offering a scenic route through a forested area before reaching the lake. The lake itself is a unique geological formation, with water flowing from a natural spring that creates a lush environment surrounded by steep cliffs. Visitors can park on site and are allowed to bring pets, making it a suitable destination for those with companions, though they should be prepared for a steady climb and potentially icy conditions in the later months of the season.
