We got off to an early start this morning and left Denver and drove three hours (with stops) to Glenwood Springs, Colorado! After checking in to our hotel and finding some lunch, our next stop was Glenwood Caverns and the Adventure Park there. After riding up a really long way on a pulse tram, we toured the caverns and saw some amazing cave features such as the castle, the sleeping dwarf, the lion's paw, and the dragon's eye. Other structures such as stalagmites, stalactites, flow stone and some of the longest soda straws in Colorado were fascinating to see as well.
After the tour, we explored the adventure park and rode some great rides. The Alpine Swing swung us out over a steep cliff, the Zip Line raced us across part of the park and the Alpine Coaster gave us the ultimate control over our roller coaster experience (it has brakes on the cars!). We were the first group to visit the park since the rides just opened over Memorial Day weekend.We had a great time and enjoyed the afternoon tremendously. There's a lot of great stories to share from our experience here, but just reading the stories online won't do them justice, so you'll just have to wait to hear about them when we get home! Just be sure to ask about the swing...
