Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park

This place gets two thumbs up! I was really amazed at all that was available in Glenwood Springs for vacationers and this just put it over the top. Definitely worth a stop. They have great atmosphere, great ideas for rides (that I took pictures of as I cannot go on any), the tram ride to the top is spectacular (make sure you go in nice weather so you can ride it and not the bus), the prices are reasonable ($25 for the tram ride and two cave tours) and the cave tours are spectacular (especially the Kings one, the Fairy one was more run of the mill). Rides are extra for those who want them and you can buy a package for unlimited or just the ones you want to try. They also have things like 4D movies, laser tag, shooting gallery, kiddie rides etc. Really something for everyone. And they gave all the facades a western theme which gave it a unique and festive air.

Were getting closer.

Oops, I guess some kids didn't make it.

View out to the valley.

Some daring folks on a ride.

The platform is at the edge of the mountain.

The swing ride throws you out over the edge.

I did the Kings tour first. Lots of ribbon formations.

 

Sort of an out and back ride.

A misc. hand under the tramway tracks as I was leaving...
