Glenwood Springs is in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.

The Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves feature naturally occurring mineral-steam baths, a rare geological feature. <a href="https://www.visitglenwood.com/hanginglake/?utm_source=colorado_com&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=citypage">Hanging Lake</a> (reservations required), located in Glenwood Canyon, is a U.S. Forest Service designated National Natural Landmark and is considered one of the most beautiful hikes in Colorado.

During the warm-weather months, rafting the Colorado River through scenic Glenwood Canyon, cycling paved and unpaved trails and fishing miles of Gold Medal rivers and streams are top choices for visitors.

In the late 1800s, dentist-turned-gambler/gunfighter John Henry “Doc” Holliday came to Glenwood Springs seeking a cure for his advanced tuberculosis. Unfortunately, his illness was too far advanced for a cure. Western history and “Doc” fans pay homage to the icon by making the short hike to his grave marker in Linwood Cemetery and by visiting the Doc Holliday Museum in the heart of downtown.
