Do you remember when you went to the park as a kid and would race your friends to the swings? There is something completely freeing about pumping your legs, feeling the wind in your hair, and flying through the air, right? Do you long to feel that carefree feeling again? If so, you have come to the wrong place, as today’s article may feature a Colorado swing, but instead of moving to and fro over a sandbox, you are moving to and fro over the gigantic Colorado River:
Welcome to the exciting Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park; America’s only mountaintop amusement park that features fun rides and tours, as well as colorful views that you will not find anywhere else!
While Glenwood Caverns has several one-of-a-kind attractions (the Haunted Mine Drop rollercoaster , anyone?), the most memorable of all may just be the aptly named Giant Canyon Swing.
"Launch yourself out into Glenwood Canyon, 1,300 feet above the Colorado River," beckons Glenwood Caverns, whose Giant Canyon Swing soars through the air at 50 mph...
...can accommodate up to four people at a time...
...and offers some of the most jaw-dropping views in the state.
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is located at 51000 Two Rivers Plaza Road in Glenwood Springs and is open Friday through Sunday from 10 am to 9 pm.
For more information on the Giant Canyon Swing, cost of admission, and more, please visit the Glenwood Caverns'
