If you are in the mood for a tough hike with a spectacular view at the end, then you will definitely want to check out Hanging Lake and Spouting Rock. The trail begins just east of Exit 121 (Grizzly Creek Rest Area) on I-70. If you are heading westbound, you will have to turn around to access the trail head. Another word of warning: since there is construction on I-70 in the canyon, you will have to go turn around at Exit 116 instead of Exit 121 to access the trail head. The scenery is definitely worth it though… you won’t be disappointed. You can check out our photos of the trail to get an idea of what you will find at the end. (And if you’re from back east, the hike is like Angel’s Rest in VA or Sharp Top – rocky and relatively steep. But the scenery at the top of Hanging Lake is truly unique.)
Stay tuned for more photos from our weekend trip Arches National Park later this week…
Dude, you’re in so much trouble for going on that hike without me! I could have showed you the secret trail behind spouting rock that leads to even more mysteries of the rocky mountains…… Alas I shall have to make the trip without you now.
Dude, you went to MEXICO without us. Now I won’t be able to show you that secret spot behind the cantina… Your loss.
[this is Louisa] – So if it’s secret, just a couple of questions – how do you know about it, and if you show us, wouldn’t that make it the non-secret trail?
So, are you up for doing anything Sunday night? (You are back in town right?)
