Hanging Lake

We did it!  (...in June...kind of late, sorry.)  We hiked to Hanging Lake.  Let me tell you it was crazy hard!  But amazingly beautiful!  I thought I was going to die a couple of times...I actually was wanting to.  It is a little over a mile to the lake...but you climb 1,000ft. in that mile.  The kids were amazing.  When we stopped it was because I needed a break.  The kids only started complaining a bit on the way down.  There are waterfalls all the way up to the lake.  This lake is super clear and then you can climb up to the waterfall that feeds the lake, Spouting Rock.  We did that, and I went under the falls and got wet.  It was FREEZING, as it is basically melted snow, but soo refreshing. I hope we can continue to hike.  Why not?  We do live in Colorado!
