Aspen-Snowmass Family Activities
December 23, 2007
If you’re heading to Colorado to ski this winter, chances are you won’t be too far from Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in historic Glenwood Springs - within an hour of Vail, Beaver Creak, Sunlight, Snowmass and Aspen, and two hours of Breckenridge, Winter Park, Powderhorn, Steamboat, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Ski Cooper and SolVista - this mountain-top destination makes a memorable addition to the traditional ski trip.
“Our proximity to so many ski areas, combined with our setting and attractions, makes this a perfect way to round out a winter vacation,” said Steve Beckley, who owns Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park with his wife Jeanne. “The caves remain a constant 52 degrees, and the crowds are a bit thinner this time of year, so it’s really a great time to visit.”
