Glenwood Springs grew up around its hot springs in the late 1800s and remains one of Colorado’s classic resort towns, with the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, the Hotel Colorado and a downtown along the Colorado River. It sits at the meeting of the Roaring Fork and Colorado rivers, making it a hub for travelers heading to Aspen, Snowmass and Vail. Tourism, healthcare, construction and retail anchor the local economy, and many people who work in Aspen and Vail live in the area.

Glenwood is about three hours from Denver on Interstate 70, through the dramatic Glenwood Canyon, where weather, rockfall or crashes can close the highway. Flying private into Garfield County Regional Airport in Rifle or Eagle County Regional Airport, each about half an hour away, keeps the trip short and skips the canyon drive entirely. Visitors come to soak in the hot springs, raft and kayak on the Colorado, explore caverns above town and use Glenwood as a base for skiing and summer excursions throughout the valley.
