Friday August 9 Glenwood Caverns

I had a great day at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. After riding a gondola up the mountain, I had a pass to do anything I liked, so after riding the zipline twice, I rode the roller coaster twice, the Alpine coaster and the swing that swung out over the canyon. There are two cave tours...I went on one of them. It was a very enjoyable day. A lot to do for families and adults. 

It is easy to spend the entire day up on the mountain.  There are several places to eat and a gift shop.
