The town of Glenwood Springs is home to two massive, natural outdoor swimming pools. The first people to use the pools were the Ute Indians. They believed the pools provided healing for those with illnesses. Many families choose Glenwood Springs as their destination because of its affordability and accessibility. At places like Teepee Village in nearby Carbondale, families can enjoy roping lessons, horseshoe tossing, and Cowboy songs with the fabulous Rocky Mountains as their backdrop. In addition to having bundles of fun, kids learn to preserve the Western ecology by learning to take only what they can put back. There are many other activities to enjoy besides swimming in this beautiful mountain town. The Colorado and Roaring Fork rivers join in Glenwood Springs. These rivers provide thrilling rafting excursions through what has become known as “Colorado's Little Grand Canyon.” Glenwood Springs offers numerous trails for hiking and biking for beginners, intermediates, and experts. Everyone in your family is sure to be entertained. While strolling downtown, you and your children can learn about Native Americans, Western history, and Doc Holliday at the Frontier Museum.
