About Glenwood
Glenwood Springs sits at the west end of Glenwood Canyon, where the Roaring Fork River meets the Colorado. Most people come for the hot springs: the big Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and Iron Mountain Hot Springs.
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is up the hill, reached by gondola. Hanging Lake is in the canyon and needs a permit. The Amtrak California Zephyr stops downtown, and RFTA buses run up valley toward Aspen.
Downtown and the pools get crowded on summer weekends, so a reserved spot saves circling.
