Glenwood Springs, Colorado — An Outdoor Paradise! 🏞️✨

Located just 2.5 hours from Denver, Glenwood Springs is a perfect mountain getaway for outdoor lovers. Here’s what you can enjoy: 1️⃣ Glenwood Hot Springs Pool — the world’s largest natural mineral hot springs! 🛁💧 Plus, there are many other hot springs around to relax in. 2️⃣ Hanging Lake — a stunning turquoise lake and waterfall combo tucked high in the mountains 🏔️💙. Often called the “Jiuzhaigou of Colorado” 😂. The hike is only 1.2 miles but pretty steep. ⚠️ Permits are required and sell out fast in peak season! 3️⃣ Fishing, Rafting, Kayaking & SUP 🎣🛶 — I tried rafting and loved the scenic ride! We even hopped off at a riverside hot spring. Our guide was a college student working a summer job — so cool! 😎 4️⃣ Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park 🎢 — Take the gondola up and try the cliff-side roller coaster or the insane Giant Canyon Swing over a 1,300-foot drop! 😱 I skipped it this time — still traumatized from a similar swing in Amsterdam… lol! 🫣 5️⃣ Close to Aspen 🎿 — Just 1 hour from one of America’s top ski resorts. Perfect for a post-ski soak! ❄️♨️ 6️⃣ California Zephyr Train Stop 🚆 — This Amtrak route from Chicago to San Francisco stops here! A scenic alternative to driving. #Colorado #SkiColorado #GlenwoodSprings #HotSprings #HangingLake #Rafting #StandUpPaddleboarding #Kayaking #Fishing #TravelColorado #Adventure
