Hanging Lake
📍 Glenwood Springs, Colorado
✓ Verified⭐ Featured
Hanging Lake is a rare geological phenomenon — a lake perched on a ledge above Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. Fed by Dead Horse Creek, its vivid turquoise waters shimmer above travertine formations draped in waterfalls. A permit-required hike of 1.2 miles gains 1,000 feet of elevation but rewards with one of the most surreal natural scenes in the American West.
