    Snowshoe to Mt. Colorow Overlook

    1.5 mi / 1000 ft gain
    Although this hike could be done in a loop, it is also doable in the out-and-back format.

    Spouting Rock via Hanging Lakes Trail

    4.4
    2.85 mi / 1529 ft gain
    To get to Spouting Rock you need to take the same trailhead as Hanging Lake. I made the hike in the offseason when there was still ice on the trail and using crampons were imperative. The hike to Hanging Lake is rather steep and while it's only about 1.2 miles long it takes about an hour. Once yo...
