When we rode our bikes to Hanging Lake this summer, the parking area was so full that traffic was backed up all the way to the interstate. It's easily one of the state's most popular attractions. But on Thanksgiving day, there were only a half dozen vehicles in the parking area when we arrived, and when we reached the lake, there was only one other couple there. Another two groups arrived while we were there, and we saw some others on the way up and down, but nothing like the summer crowds.
This photo is a composite of thirty separate images, as it's a rare lens that's wide enough to capture the entire scene in one photograph.
I hope to return again in another month, as the hike up and the scene when you're there is so much better when there's more snow and ice.
