 Tom_Fields Says:  This is one of Colorado's most spectacular canyons. You drive right through it if you approach Glenwood Springs from Denver. It has a number of places to visit. With my time rather limited, I chose the trail to Hanging Lake (see the next tip). 

 Tom_Fields Says:  A great outing for a family, this park is just off I-70. From the entrance, take the Iron Mountain Tramway up to the top. From there, you can ride the rides, take a tour of the caverns, have lunch at the cafe, and enjoy fine views of the valley below. The caverns are the...

 yellowbell Says:  It was a steep uphill hike of 1.1 miles to see the waterfalls of the Hanging Lake. It was tiring but it was worth it even for a non-hiker like me. It didn't matter if I had to hold on to the hand rails, almost crawl to reach the next stone up or sit to go down safely.

 painterdave Says:  Step back into the 50's and visit Peppo Ninos of Glenwood Springs. The atmosphere is dark and quaint. Their menu is your basic Italian fare, nothing fancy, but it is prepared well.If you need a change from fast food, and the brewery fare, this might be to your liking. We...
