Hanging Lake

The crew from Berlin City, Summit and BCIT hiked up 1.2 miles to this beautiful hidden lake and waterfalls. We started up around 8AM and without the sun it was perfect for Mike and I. I think the others were a little colder than us and they had their sweater/shirts on. Mike and I know that we will be warm as soon as we start to move.

The climb was very nice and gradual and well maintained. We crossed several wooden bridges, saw chipmunks, dragonflies, and heard the birds. The last segment of the trail are rock steps carved out of the canyon wall. Some must have been a foot high but there was a railing to help haul you up as well as to protect you from plummeting down the canyon wall.

Mike was up in about 30 minutes and me behind him at about 40. The altitude is still a consideration as we are not use to it. The reward was breathe taking. The sun had come out and warmed up the area and reflected on the water like diamonds.


The wtare was so clear you could see the trout swimming. The water was very cold!


You can walk behind these 2 waterfalls if you want to get wet.


There is another trail that leads to these waterfalls were you can walk behind them and not get wet.




This is an easy climb and a beautiful hike well were it if you are in Glenwood Canyons.
