The Hanging Lake Trail in Glenwood Canyon will be closed tomorrow as volunteer crews work on final stages of a restoration project.
Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers will build on work they completed last year at the widely popular trail. About 130,000 hikers make the 1.25 mile walk every year. Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers executive director David Hamilton said this means maintenance needs are high.
“The trail just gets way more use than it can handle,” Hamilton said. “The lake itself is a very rare thing. And so having people in it with sunscreen and makeup and all that sort of stuff really destroys the environment.”
Volunteers will be installing chain to protect sensitive habitat, removing graffiti and more.
