Glenwood Springs Colorado

Glenwood Springs is located in the western half of Colorado, halfway between Aspen and Vail. Nearby are the fun towns of Carbondale, Basalt and Redstone. The Roaring Fork River and Colorado River intersect town and their confluence is located downtown. Glenwood Springs is mecca for fisherman, kayakers and white water rafters. It is pretty good for golfing, skiing, mountain biking and hiking too.

Glenwood Springs is most famous for its Hot Springs Pool. However, there are some other attractions that are worth noticing:

Sunlight Ski Mountain -- about 15 or 20 minutes from downtown, this smaller ski area is definitely the local's choice. Good snow, good steeps, good family runs, great prices!

Sunlight Mountain Inn -- an inn/hotel at the base of sunlight mountain. A great lodging and accommodation choice if you are skiing... or if you want to be close to the mountains for recreation purposes -- it has excellent access to our local mountain fun.

Rifle Creek Golf Course -- about 20 minutes or so west on I70 is the town of Rifle. The 18 hole golf course also has a driving range. During March and April it is not uncommon to golf and ski on the same day!

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park -- caves, restaurant, lots of fun rides and events for the famil, and the best view anywhere! Make sure you plan on spending a day of fun, adventure and education.
