When you think of states with epic theme parks, which come to mind? Let me guess: California and Florida, right? While these coastal states do have a lot to offer, the Centennial State also deserves to make the list, as it is home to the only mountain-top theme park in America.
Welcome to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park!
Located in - you guessed it - Glenwood Springs, the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is as historic as it is unique, thanks to its fascinating cavern history and award-winning rides.
Opened near the top of Iron Mountain in the 1890s, the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park began with cave tours before expanding to different thrill and family-friendly rides, shopping, and dining.
Much like its original days, guests can still tour Glenwood Cavern's various caves, which range from the short and sweet 40-minute Fairy Caves walking tour to the high-adrenaline Wild Tour.
As we previously mentioned, Glenwood Caverns also offers rides of all kinds, including the thrilling Haunted Mine Drop, Soaring Eagle Zip Ride, and famous Alpine Coaster.
