Weather Policy
The weather in the Rocky Mountains can change quickly. In the spring and summer months it is not uncommon to experience thunderstorms which brings wind and lightning. If we experience high wind or lightning in close proximity, the gondola will slow down and sometimes stop. We may also close the gondola for a period of time until the weather passes; typically, these storms move through in 45 to 90 minutes. Please plan accordingly for these delays as there is no alternative means of transportation. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.- It’s a excellent place for admiring the natural and beautiful environment. You can’t leave Glenwood without seeing this magnificent place!read moreread lessViv MC4/22/2024
- Glenwood caverns is awesome and a must stop for anyone visiting Glenwood Springs, especially if you have kids. Lots of activities to do other than touring the caves( even more in the summer time ) The gondola ride to the top is great for views of the city down below. Definitely memorable. Michael and Katrina are awesome tour guides, they are very informative and you can tell they love their jobs. Michael is especially hilarious and was an absolute joy to be a part of his kings cave tour.read moreread lessSebastian4/04/2024This park was a great deal of fun even in winter. The two cave tours were very interesting and had great guides each time with cheesy jokes that made it fun. Altogether the staff was very friendly and helpful and made time spent enjoyable. Greatly encourage a visit!read moreread lessJaron Weese2/29/2024
- This place was amazing! Both adults and kids loved it. We spent most of the day here – lines got a little longer in afternoon, but nothing terrible. Cave tours were very interesting and neat to see. Highly recommend this place!read moreread lessKathy Chabot2/22/2024Amazing! The caves were breathtaking, unbelievable and unique experience. We had the best tour guide, he made the cave tour so much fun! We went during winter most rides were closed but that’s okay. The pricing and cave tours were so worth it. On top of the gift shop you have an amazing view of the mountains and the city. Breath taking! We want to return for a Sumer experience!read moreread lessCaroline Galvan1/16/2024
