Lots of people camp at emerald lake. It’s popular. I’m not a fan of folks camping there because it is such a pristine spot and so popular. When we hiked through during this trip there were at least five pup tents lining the water and we joined dozens as we watched these folks get up half dressed, clean their pots right in the pond etc. The beauty was really ruined for me, you can tell 🙂

There are places to hang up there. Lots of water and lots of trees. I scoped out several spots I would have set camp that weren’t right on the lake. I think you’d be fine to bring a hammock provided you don’t care about being 1 foot from the waters edge.

Hi Derek. We plan to hike timp on Sunday to monday. I’m dying to use my hammock. The girls I’m going with don’t have one. We are planning on hiking to emerald lake and camping. Are there trees, and a flat tent spot over there? I’m wondering if I should just plan on taking our four woman tent, or if I can hang. My email is brihoopes@gmail.com. would love any tips.

In reply to Madeline. Are you planning a backpacking/hammock trip on Timp! I'm eager to hear how you enjoy it! Mosquitos weren't much of a problem when and where we went, but having a bug net is always nice.

Little question… How were the mosquitoes? Looking forward to this!

Made the Timpanooke hike to the summit several times over the years, and once over to the airplane wreck to the north. A great hike but a bit long for one day, especially if there is still snow. Wildflowers are absolutely incredible. I have wanted to camp at the green meadow for years – glad to read about your experience.

Great article, Thanks! Thinking of doing this exact trip this summer with a group of women. In August though… 🙂

By the way……I bought the Kindle version of your book and just finished in this week. It was a great read and I look forward to getting out with my hammock for a good “hang.”
