Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, Mountain theme park in Glenwood Springs, United States
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park spreads across Iron Mountain at 2,183 meters elevation, combining natural cave systems with multiple roller coasters and a gondola. The site uses the mountain's terrain to arrange different attractions at varying heights.
The natural cave formations developed over millions of years and later earned recognition as a National Natural Landmark for their geological importance. The mountain was subsequently developed with recreational attractions to make these natural features accessible to visitors.
Local bands perform throughout summer months, creating a musical backdrop for the season. The park celebrates Germanic traditions in fall with festival events that draw people together.
Visitors can buy combination tickets that cover both the gondola ride and cave tours, with the park open from morning to early evening. Most activities are easily accessible, though some paths go through natural cave entrances that require appropriate footwear.
The Cliffhanger roller coaster ranks among the highest elevation full-sized coasters in North America, offering riders views of the Colorado River below. This distinction makes it a notable engineering achievement in the amusement park industry.
