Hanging Lake, Colorado - Poster

This pristine lake hangs in the balance high above the canyon walls near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. A popular tourist destination, Hanging Lake was nearly loved to death by visitors. A permit system was established to allow a designated number of hikers in for enjoyment. The trailhead can be accessed via Glenwood Canyon. Rocky and steep, the trail passes along Deadhorse Creek, a tributary of the Colorado River, then leads hikers to the lake which was created by a unique 'fault' long ago. Our poster design features the falls that cascade down from this the cliff above to the tranquil turquoise waters below.
