So I went to Denver, Colorado the last week of June and it was OF COURSE SUPER AMAZING. What a beautiful place and a nice change from Florida at this time of year.
The first day we went to Hanging Lake.
It is a rocky 1 mile trek up to the lake. There's a trail in that pile of rocks above, gotta watch your step!
View from the almost-top...
The Hanging Lake...
Hanging Lake has gorgeous clear water, and then it appears to just hang on the edge of the mountain, or in some spots gently roll over the edge. Very peaceful. And I got to see an American Dipper flying about, preening, living the good life...
Ground Squirrel...
A trail next to Hanging Lake says "Sprouting Rock", and what you find up there is just as cool as Hanging Lake. After being totally blown away by the beauty of Hanging Lake it's amazing to see Sprouting Rock and be blown away all over again! Sprouting Rock is a number of waterfalls that you can walk behind, or even easily play in and cool off. (I did not go in it, but others were.)
And on the way down, more animals, birds, and trickling mossy waterfalls....
