I'll do it someday, but man, that's a lot of effort to never do the damn hike. |

After that hike, go soak your ass in the hot sulfur springs at Glennwood.

We last went about two years ago and I think they had just finished the new walkway and deck around the lake, but yeah, the exit was still under construction.

I'm a white water freak, have owned my own river rafts, w/w kayaks. it's a dangerous sport for beginners unless you are up for it and use a guide service. you'll have teriffic fun on class II & class III rapids, the guide will put you in and take you out the right areas of the river for this type fun.
w/w kayak i recommend taking the class where you'll learn to roll etc in water. you need to know how to do this if you want to ww kayak or you are asking for trouble. river rafting is fun too, with a guide until you have navigational experience. need big water for the good fun, but it's a great "group" experience. y'all learn to "team" it. and, of course it is a drier experience than w/w kayaking is.

I had great memories of the springs from my childhood, so we went one weekend trip. My daughter took one step outside and puked from the smell.

Although I'm starting to feel like a Tour Guide Barbie, I also recommend the hike to Devil's Head. It's a very short drive from Denver and has great views. It's also not very difficult at all. Well, at least until the climb up the steps to the ranger hut.

Adam's Falls is a nice little item to see on your way to Rocky Mountain National Park as well. Just went up there yesterday.

We are eventually going to do a outdoorsy vacation which may also include the trains which can give you uninstructed views unlike any other form of transportation. |

Yes, the stream continues down from the lake. You basically follow that stream up all the way to the lake along the trail. There are a bunch of little bridges that criss-cross the stream all the ay up (7, IIRC). Yes, do it in the summer, not winter. It is a block of ice in winter.

Here's a picture of Spouting Rock. It's about 40 feet high.

Hanger lake hike looks pretty sweet. But it's a paved trail? Not exactly what I'm thinking if I want to go to Colorado for a hike.
