About Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is Colorado's only mountaintop adventure park, perched at 7,160 feet above Glenwood Springs and reached by the scenic Glenwood Gondola. Combining underground cave tours with high-altitude thrill rides, it is one of the region's signature attractions and a full-day destination for families and adventure seekers.
The park's namesake caves — a National Natural Landmark — are explored on guided walking tours that wind through chambers of dramatic limestone formations. Above ground, guests find a collection of cliff-edge thrill rides including the Giant Canyon Swing, the Alpine Coaster that races down the mountainside, and Defiance, billed as the highest looping roller coaster in the United States. Family rides, a 4D theatre, gemstone panning, and mountaintop dining round out the experience.
Accessed by gondola from the valley floor, the park rewards visitors with panoramic views over the Roaring Fork Valley and the Colorado River as they ride to the summit. Seasonal events from summer concerts to fall Oktoberfest and winter holiday celebrations keep the calendar full year-round. With cave exploration, adrenaline rides, and sweeping scenery in one place, Glenwood Caverns offers an adventure unlike anything else in the area.
