Hiking
The Hanging Lake trail is a 1.2 mile backcountry hike. It is steep, rigorous and rocky, but rewards you with beautiful scenery and scenic waterfalls.
As the lake has become more popular over the years, there is now a permit system in place to reduce the crowds visiting this sensitive area. You can get a permit for $12 USD here: visitglenwood.com/hanginglake

Hiking
The trail leads all the way past a stream with numerous small waterfalls. So it never gets boring and you can always refresh yourself.
