There is a beautiful Trail in the mountains that leads to a lake that is in the middle of it. The atmosphere is beautiful. You have to make reservations to do this and take a shuttle from Glenwood Springs. If you can hike and groomed and little bit Rocky Trail, it's worth it.

Reviewed By debsA9982ZB
This is a very pleasant surprise when staying in Glenwood Springs CO. The location is an environmental protected area, allowing only specific numbers of visitors. Reservations are needed as bus takes you to the trailhead and from there your adventure begins. The trail winds and switchbacks up the cavern walls, the views are amazing and the quiet is covered by the running brook you criss cross over by small bridges as you ascend. The hike is strenuous at times, recommendation to take your time and breath in experience. Hanging Lake is peaceful, a place to reflect, the short detour to Sprouting Rock is well worth the effort brings a smile and gives a needed cooling spray.

Tanya and Sandy are wonderful! I splurged on the pamper me package and am so glad I did. Tanya’s foot rub and facial was simply amazing. I could feel the layers of stress melt off my body. Sandy finished with a 75 minute massage and I could barely keep my eyes open I was so relaxed. Have a new spring in my step now and definitely lighter without the stress. Highly recommend!!
