Just a few short miles from the Glenwood Canyon Resort, in and around Glenwood Springs and the surrounding mountain towns, you’ll find so many activities that you will absolutely run out of time before you run out of things to do. We guarantee you’ll be planning your next trip back before you even leave!
One of the most popular hikes in all of Colorado happens to be only a few minutes drive from the resort. The ever popular Hanging Lake Trail is a challenging 1.2 mile uphill hike that is worth every step. Your reward at the top is a beautifully suspended mountain lake that is fed by cascading waterfalls, so make sure and bring your camera! When you arrive at the resort, we’ll provide you with an entire brochure of more than 30 hiking and biking trails in and around the area. Remember, the 16 mile paved Glenwood Canyon Recreational Trail is just steps from the resort, so bring your bike or rent one of ours.
The world famous Glenwood Hot Springs Pool is less than five minutes from No Name and is a must on the checklist here in Glenwood Springs. Kids will have a blast splashing around in the huge pool while parents can leisurely enjoy the warm water and sunshine. If you prefer a greater selection of multi-temperature pools, a little less noise, and the opportunity to enjoy an adult beverage, be sure to check out the Iron Mountain Hot Springs with multiple private pools overlooking the Colorado River.
The Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park has surely turned into another must on the checklist while in the valley. On the top of a mountain they have their very own amusement park with exciting rides and fun games for everyone. Their main attraction being the fairy caves, they will take you on guided tours through either the family route or on a more challenging (think very small spaces) spelunking tour.
For the golf fanatic, there are more than a dozen golf courses within 40 miles of the resort and several phenomenal golf courses in and around the Roaring Fork Valley available to the public. Glenwood Springs Golf Club, known as “The Hill”, is a 9 hole favorite of locals. Ironbridge Golf Course in Glenwood Springs is a family friendly 18 hole course. River Valley Ranch in Carbondale offers a challenging course with stunning view of Mt. Sopris. Lakota Canyon Golf Club in nearby New Castle, is an 18 hole championship course. Yep, we also have miniature golf courses in Glenwood for family fun.
Spend the day on one of our gold medal rivers with one of several professional guide services in the area. The Colorado, Roaring Fork, Frying Pan and Crystal are all world class, catch and release rivers. Of course there’s nothing stopping you from casting your line from the comfort of your own riverfront site at the resort. Be forewarned…we do not sell worms at the resort.
