About

Glory Hole Park is a 1.5-acre public park located in Aspen, Colorado, situated at the intersection of Original Street and Ute Avenue. The site sits atop a natural spring and features a central pond, walking paths, benches, and picnic tables. The park is open from dawn to dusk with a maximum capacity of 300 people. It offers moderate hiking and walking trails that typically take about two hours to complete, with an elevation of 7,954 feet. The area is accessible during the fall season, specifically from September through November, when aspens change color. Parking is available on-site, and the trails are pet-friendly. A historical marker notes a major mining accident that occurred at this location in August 1918. Restrooms are available for visitors.
