The Hanging Lake trail now begins at the Hanging Lake rest area off I-70. The Colorado River here runs slow and deep thanks to Shoshone Dam. Unlike the old days before the Glenwood Canyon project was finished, there was just a small dirt parking lot at the base of the trail. Now, you park a quarter mile away and walk alongside the Colorado River.
