Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park

About

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is a mountaintop attraction located on Iron Mountain just off I-70 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. While primarily known as a theme park featuring rides and cave tours, it offers hiking and walking trails suitable for moderate fitness levels. The site sits at an elevation of approximately 5,751 feet, providing panoramic views of the Roaring Fork Valley and Mt. Sopris. Access is gained via the Glenwood Gondola, which transports visitors up the mountain in enclosed cabins. The park is open year-round, though specific rides and attractions may close seasonally or due to weather. Parking is available at the base. Pets are permitted on the trails but are not allowed inside the gondola cars or within the cave itself. The typical duration for a visit, including hiking and other activities, is around two hours.
