Look at that water! Colorado's Hanging Lake
has its path back. The trail reopened
on June 18, 2026, after fire and
floods damaged the route. The repair took
a whole community. The Forest Service, the
National Forest Foundation, state partners, and local
supporters. Crews built seven new bridges and
more than a thousand stone steps. Some
bridges even had to arrive by helicopter.
We put so much love and effort into this path
that it reflects how much people appreciate
their public lands and each other.
A rebuilt trail and a shared love
of a beautiful place. Planning a visit?
