Doc holiday saloonUpon arrival in Glenwood Springs, we transfer to the Hampton Inn to check-in and drop off our luggge.
Since Doc Holliday’s Saloon is a “must see” in downtown Glenwood Springs, we will stop there for lunch. The 20 foot pistol-shaped neon sign lights the way into the old west museum-style bar. Doc Holliday’s features a beautifully restored walnut back-bar, historic photos and a potbelly stove.
Let's walk off lunch with a half-mile hike up the moderately steep trail to Linwood Cemetery where Glenwood’s pioneer settlers are buried. Although his exact whereabouts are a mystery, Doc's memorial marker is situated overlooking Glenwood Springs. (Because he was penniless at his passing, he was likely buried in “Potter’s Field”).
glenwood springs resort
Time to relax at the Glenwood Hot Springs Resort, home of the world’s largest mineral hot springs pool and Spa of the Rockies. This historic thermal spring water has been drawing visitors from all over the world since 1888. Soaking in or “taking the waters” is a time-honored healing tradition and one that is still recommended as a remedy for a variety of ailments. In fact, members of the nomadic Ute tribe were the earliest known people to soak in the healing hot springs which retains the original Ute language name “Yampah,” which translates to “Big Medicine.”
After a stop for dinner we head back to our hotel for a good night's rest.

 

Vacation Day 3: Full Day - Whitewater Rafting
Glenwood springs whitewaterOf all the ways to spend the day, few are better than spending them on the water. Prior rafting experience is not required. Our group will receive a detailed safety talk before getting on the river and every person will be issued a Personal Flotation Device better known as a life jacket.
Our rafting starts out by heading up river about 9 miles to the Shoshone Rapids in Glenwood Canyon on the Colorado River. We get off to an exciting start as we navigate the class III-IV Shoshone rapids including The Wall, Tombstone, Man Eater, Superstition, and many more. Glenwood whitewaterThe river gradually begins to slow down and our guide will talk about the history of Glenwood Canyon and the River. From there, we'll paddle our way through Glenwood Canyon before stopping for lunch at our private picnic area in Glenwood Springs. Then it's time to hop back in the boats for a relaxing float down the Colorado River to enjoy the scenery, though don't worry if you're not interested in relaxing. We'll break out the inflatable kayaks for those of you looking to for more adventure  and get a bit more up close and personal with the river. Many rafters think the kayaks are even more fun than the bigger rapids upstream!

 

Vacation Day 4: Glenwood Adventure Park

The thrill rides include the Glenwood Canyon Flyer, Soaring Eagle Zip Ride, Cliffhanger Roller Coaster, Alpine Coaster and the Giant Canyon Swing.
The Historic Fairy Cave Tour is a 40 minute guided walking tour appropriate for most fitness levels. Stroll along a quarter-mile-long underground narrow, winding passages, to natural water features and includes a stop at Exclamation Point—a viewing balcony with magnificent panoramas.

The staircase descends to King’s row, after which visitors climb back up. 
We will round up the whole gang for a new-fangled Old West shoot-out using the latest in wireless laser technology before we head back to our hotel. Since the Park is open until 9pm, we will change and head back up the mountain for dinner and entertainment.
