About Glenwood Springs

Surrounded by the expansive White River National Forest in Colorado’s towering Rocky Mountains, Glenwood Springs gained popularity as a resort town, known for its revitalising hot springs. In recent years, the area has become a favourite with keen adventurers of all ages, who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing and skiing. There is a small selection of great accommodation on offer, including simple, self-catering stays and attractive inns fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets. Our pick of the best places to stay in Glenwood Springs has its own brewpub — perfect for a cool beer after a big day of discovery!

If you’re eager to spot wildlife, try mountain biking, hiking or climbing, or venture into the Glenwood Canyon and the White River National Forest. The Colorado River is excellent for kayaking, white water rafting and fishing, whilst the shallower Roaring Fork River is popular with river runners. Don’t miss admiring the striking turquoise waters of Hanging Lake, or peering into the ancient Glenwood Caverns.

Winter visitors, on the other hand, can ski and snowboard at nearby Sunlight Mountain Resort, or enjoy snowmobiling, snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, ice skating, and fat biking through the powder-white snow. If you’re travelling as a family, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park’s thrilling roller coasters and canyon swings are not to be missed. The restorative waters of Glenwood’s geothermal springs are the ideal antidote to challenging days on the trails and slopes.

Back in town, unravel Glenwood Springs’ past at the Frontier Historical Museum, and meet makers of pottery, sculpture, woodwork, paintings and more in the town’s lovely galleries. Evenings can be spent recounting the day’s experiences over hearty food and drink at the town’s many eateries, or putting your feet up at one of the best places to stay in Glenwood Springs.
