Adventure Park

One of the big attractions of Glenwood Springs is the caves.  Big long story of how it came to be... and you get an adventure park.  We spent all day here.  We rode the gondola up.

Here are some pictures of the park.

Cavers Corner is the way to the cave entrances.  It is also the way to the swing.

Down this way is the 4D theater, kid rides and the lodge which has laser tag, the gift shop and the restaurant.

Over this way is the alpine slide, the zip line, a arcade shooting range and old time pictures.

First thing we did was the cave tour.  You can find that post under this one.  When we left the cave, Nate really wanted to ride the swing.  I let him.  This first picture of from the cave tour.  You can see how it goes right over the cliff.

We watched a 4D short movie and then had some lunch.  We spent a lot of time in the souvenir shop.  We wanted to get the kids something and couldn't decide what.

We went down the alpine slide and I was a little nervous. It was so cool!  I could have done that all day long!  It wasn't as fast as I thought and being seatbelted in really helped.

We did the maze and would have won a prize for doing it in under 7 minutes but we got stuck behind some kids and Nate didn't feel right about shoving them out of the way to go faster.

 We didn't do the zip line but if we ever go back with the kids, which we really want to do, we'll take them down.

It was a lot of fun.  When we first decided to come to Glenwood I told Nate that I didn't want to go anywhere that the whole time we would say, "I wish we had the kids with us."  We didn't do that but we do want to go back with the kids.

We stayed all day with just the two of us so I am sure that if we came with the kids they would love it just as much.  It was so much fun and we are planning on coming back.  Just not on the train.
