Most thrill-seekers in Colorado have inevitably heard of this swimming hole near Independence Pass in Aspen. The shockingly cool waters of the pool are supplied by icy river run-off, which means only the most adventurous and thick-skinned cliff jumpers should attempt to dive off the 25-foot rocks. However, you do not have to jump off the rocks just to enjoy the pristine setting of this swimming hole. The massive cliffs and cascading waterfalls are equally as impressive when admiring them from land.
