Hanging Lake trail. Tremendously beautiful waterfalls, lake, and mountain sights. A challenging hike that requires a permit/reservation.
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
America's only mountaintop theme park. With National Landmark status for their fairy caves, this is an amazing family experience. All starting with a gondala ride to the top of the mountain, continue the adrenaline on an alpine coaster, roller coasters or a Cliffhanger swing over the canyon.
Iron Mountain Hot Springs
Mineral hot spring pools located next to the Colorado River with the ability to upgrade to 21+ experience.
