Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is an adventure park located above Glenwood Springs, Colorado, about 160 miles west of Denver. Prior to 2003, only cave tours were available until a major expansion took place. The park is unique because it sits at about 7,000 feet on a mountain above Glenwood. Today, the park features numerous attractions in addition to the cave tours. The only way to access the park is via gondola or in case of rain and the gondola is closed, buses can travel down the road.
==History==
In the late 1800s, Charles W. Darrow discovered a cave system on Iron Mountain after hearing the mountain "whistle". The source was the cave mouth and in 1895 Darrow opened up the caves to the public. Methods of getting to the caves included horseback to walking. In 1897, Darrow was able to bring electric lights to the cave with the help of the city's hydro-electric plant becoming one of the first caves to do so. In the same year a tunnel was blasted out to Glenwood Canyon with an observation deck named Exclamation Point. With the onset of World War I, the caves were closed to the public in 1917. Eventually in 1999, Steve and Jeanne Beckley who owned the land the cave sat on, opened the cave back to public after restoration work. The caverns were accessed by bus using Traver Trail. The next major project came in 2003 when the caverns under went a major expansion. That year the Beckley's installed several attractions and improvements. The highlights included mountain top access by gondola built by Poma out of Grand Junction, the first Alpine coaster in the United States, a swing out over the canyon, a mountain top restaurant, and a sluice box. It was at this time the name was officially changed to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Since then the park has added a 4-D theater (the first and only in Colorado), laser tag, a climbing wall, a zip line, and bungee jumping have all been added at various points. The swing has also changed to an S&S Power Screamin' Swing which has gained some fame. The last major expansion was in 2013 when the park added three new rides including mine themed Ferris wheel, and a kiddie coaster. However the biggest attraction was the addition of S&MC Hurricane model brought from the closed Celebration City in Branson, Missouri called Cliffhanger. As of 2014, the park plans to receive a new circular swing ride called Glenwood Canyon Flyer and the zip line will be relocated for the third time.
