Adventure Awaits at Glenwood Caverns

Adventure awaits just steps away from Iron Mountain Hot Springs! Start your day with a scenic ride on the Glenwood Gondola, climbing from the Roaring Fork Valley floor to the mountaintop in fully enclosed cabins with panoramic views.

At the top, you’ll find two guided walking cave tours, Colorado’s very first Alpine Coaster, and the country’s highest-elevation roller coaster. Thrill-seekers can soar 1,300 feet above the Colorado River on the Giant Canyon Swing and the Glenwood Canyon Flyer. Please note that rides may be closed due to weather or seasonal conditions.

Families can look forward to the Wild West Express roller coaster, Mine Wheel Ferris wheel, GiddyUp Western ride, laser tag arena, and the 4D Motion Theater. Younger adventurers will love Little Feet Playland — now open! And it’s all included with a Funday ticket!  

When it’s time for a break, grab lunch, dinner, or a snack at the Lookout Grille, Smokehouse, or Defiance Dogs, and take in some of the best views of Glenwood Springs and Mt. Sopris from the mountaintop deck.

Two National Natural Landmarks!

Spend an unforgettable day exploring two of Colorado’s National Natural Landmarks. Enjoy a guided cave adventure at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, and relax with a rejuvenating soak at Iron Mountain Hot Springs along the banks of the Colorado River. When you purchase a ticket to Iron Mountain Hot Springs, you’ll receive 20% off a Gondola & Cave ticket at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Together, these two must-visit destinations showcase the very best of Glenwood Springs.
