Aspen & Roaring Fork Valley
Glenwood Springs, Colorado
The world's largest hot springs pool, a canyon that stops traffic, and the gateway to Aspen
Glenwood Springs sits where Glenwood Canyon opens into the Roaring Fork Valley, at the junction of I-70 and Highway 82 to Aspen. The town is famous for two things: the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool — the world's largest mineral hot springs pool — and the drive through Glenwood Canyon, a 12-mile stretch of I-70 carved through 1,800-foot limestone walls that's considered one of the most dramatic highway segments in America. Doc Holliday died here in 1887, and his grave is still a tourist stop. Beyond the postcard attractions, Glenwood has a walkable downtown with restaurants, breweries, and the Iron Mountain Hot Springs — a newer boutique soaking experience on the Colorado River.
