And, if you go to Glenwood Springs, a little further east will take you to a hike to Hanging Lake, well worth the climb.
Hanging Lake is a nice hike up to it but those not familiar with it should know it is an extremely popular hike that attracts a lot of people from out of the area. You need to do it either very early morning, or late evening as the parking lot fills up extremely quick and you can be waiting in line for people to free up parking spots. By the mention of early morning, plan to be there by 7am to get a spot.
