Hanging Lake hike 2006

Laura and I went to Hanging Lake on May 12 and 13, 2006. It was boffo, just as I had heard! Then we went back to the trailhead and hiked up the Dead Horse trail to the top of a plateau. Go see Hanging Lake, it's boffo!

There was a big dead something on the trail.

Or an alligator!
Looking east, you can see past the beginning of Glenwood Canyon.

Our fair camp.
