Hanging Lake
Located only 10 miles from Hotel Colorado, Hanging Lake Trail is one of the most popular hikes in all of Colorado! Sitting in the spectacular Colorado River-carved Glenwood Canyon, the Hanging Lake Trail is a must-stop along this scenic patch of highway. Make plans to hike this National Natural Landmark – you won’t want to miss it. Reservations are required to help us keep this magnificent environment protected and able to be enjoyed for years to come.
Located about 45 miles from Hotel Colorado, the Maroon Bells are the most photographed mountains in North America. The 14,000-foot bell-shaped peaks reflect in the crystal clear lake below. The Maroon Bells Scenic Area features several hiking trails ranging from short hikes near Maroon Lake to longer overnight backpacking trips into the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness. Because the natural landmark is so popular, there is limited access to the area during the summer and fall, and reservations are required to visit by car or shuttle.
