Glenwood Springs Colorado - Introduction
People have flocked to Glenwood Springs' famous waters for
years. Doc Holliday - of Wyatt Earp and O.K. Corral fame - came
here on doctor's orders. Unfortunately, the soothing waters that
help relax overworked muscles were unable to cure tuberculosis.
These days, tourists soak in the waters and also visit Doc Holliday's
grave. It's no wonder that they still come. With the largest hot
springs pool in the world, the town has also built a comfortable
environment with world-class amenities.
Glenwood
Springs is a medium-sized town along Interstate 70 in western
Colorado. From here, interstate travelers can make side trips to
explore many of northwestern Colorado's state parks and wilderness
areas, or stay in the pleasant community of Glenwood Springs and enjoy
such attractions as the world's largest hot springs pool, or the
mysterious beauty of Glenwood Caverns.
Another unique attraction near Glenwood Springs is the interstate
itself. Just east of the town the road becomes a vertical stack,
hugging the side of the treacherous canyon walls as it winds its way
upward. Much effort was made to minimize environmental impact on the
beautiful canyon, and the result is an intriguing engineering marvel.
Glenwood Springs is the largest community along I-70 between Grand
Junction and Denver. It is only an hour away from both Vail and Aspen.
