Hanging Lake Permit System Delayed Until 2019
The fee-based permit and shuttle system planned for the popular dayhike won't be implemented this summer after all.
Hanging Lake hikers will have one more summer of unrestricted access (and likely, crowding), the Forest Service announced. Officials say they are still working on the plan to implement a fee-based reservation and permit system for Hanging Lake, as well as a mandatory shuttle to solve parking problems at the Glenwood Springs-area trail.
