James and I made the long haul – 30+ hour road trip from Atlanta, GA to Provo, UT
BUT…we broke it up into three days, made as many stops as we desired, and this was my favorite…
Right off of highway I-70 in Glenwood Springs, CO is the “difficult” (or so it is labeled) hike, about one hour up the mountains, to what I think is well worth the trek: Hanging Lake!
We weren’t 100% prepared for our hike, as it was a last minute decision…
I did a truck change out of my skirt into James’ b-ball shorts and the most hiking conducive shoes I had with me. We packed his backpack with the essentials: my camera, bottled water, and…snacks!
Good thing we brought my snacks…we met this hungry little fella on the way up! I’m pretty sure 8 goldfish were stuffed into those cheeks for safe keeping…
.
and then we made it to the top!
crystal clear ice cold waters and gorgeous falls…
we made it to the bottom 3 hours after the start (we lingered a while at the top)…
dusty shoes, but worth it.
.
i’d do it again in a heartbeat!
love, whit
