✨✨Lake George✨✨

🌿✨ Lake George will always feel like home to me. I grew up spending my summers here — long days by the water, family picnics, and the kind of memories that stay with you forever. It became a tradition I looked forward to year after year, and even now as an adult, I still try to make the trip whenever I can.

This year, as a family, we decided to stay in Bolton Landing, which was new for us. It had a different vibe compared to where we usually stay, but in the best way. Renting a house just for us gave us a cozy spot to gather, relax, and laugh late into the night. We loved how close it was to everything, and having different lakes nearby to explore made the trip even more special.

Lake George has changed over the years, and so have I — but the feeling I get when I’m here is always the same. Peaceful, familiar, and like stepping back into a piece of my childhood. 💙🏞️

✨ I’ll be making a separate post soon sharing some of my favorite things to do around Lake George if you’re planning your own trip!

A vibrant turquoise lake, Hanging Lake, is surrounded by lush green trees and a rocky cliff. Multiple waterfalls cascade into the clear water, with fallen logs partially submerged, creating a serene natural oasis in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado.
Hanging Lake - Glenwood Canyon, CO ⛰️
One of my favorite hidden gems in Colorado! Hanging Lake in Glenwood Canyon is a breathtaking oasis, perfect for a summer adventure. The crystal-clear waters and stunning waterfalls made this hike absolutely worth it. The hike itself is 1.2 miles, steep, rough, and rocky, but again well worth it! ⛰
