Glenwood Caverns - excitement in the fall season
This past weekend, employees of Stay Aspen Snowmass had the opportunity to ride a new gondola and experience the Glenwood Caverns. I was very impressed with the variety of activities they had available. Not the least of which involved exploring the famous Glenwood caverns. Our guide, Bob, was a retired science teacher from Rifle, Co and proved to be both entertaining and informative. The caverns have a variety of unique and fascinating geological features (more than just your average stalagtite/stalagmite cave) with a rich history to boot. There are a few options to choose from and after this preview, I know I will be back for their get down and dirty "wild tour".
Afterwards, we rode the Alpine slide - a version of a mountain roller coaster and the giant swing. The swing flies high out and over the end of a cliff - giving one a combined body as well as visual thrill of Glenwood Canyon and I-70.
Another great feature of the Caverns is the ability for small to medium size groups to congregate. We had our customer service training for our staff in the morning overlooking Glenwood Springs. It was a beautiful setting to help us unwind and feel like we were getting away from it all. Below is our trainer Julie Burch from JLH Productions.
