Opinions Wanted In Hanging Lake Parking, Overcrowding

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - The overcrowding and parking issues at the popular Hanging Lake Trail east of Glenwood Springs are the subject of a meeting in hopes of finding solutions.

Roaring Fork Transit Authorities are considering a range of solutions that include limiting visitor numbers and a shuttle system.

Nearly two years ago, a gate was installed at the trail head that is closed when the 112-space lot is full. The Forest Service manages the parking during high-use times.

The White River National Forest said that Hanging Lake had 137,000 visitors last year.

According to the Post Independent, the RFTA board meeting is scheduled for 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. Feb. 9 at Carbondale Town Hall. The public is invited to attend.
