Worth a Thousand Words

Each shot captures the authentic thrill and emotion of your experience at America’s only mountaintop theme park.

Best Places for Pics
But not every memory needs to come from a professional ride camera. Around every corner at the Park, you’ll find scenery or a setting that just begs for a quick click.
For tall tale whimsy, head to the Giant’s Chair, a favorite for families and couples alike. This oversized wooden chair, located in the Main Plaza, will have you looking over your shoulder for the giant who fits this enormous seat. But for regular-sized humans, it’s a playful and unexpected photo op.
For more fairytale photos, pay a visit to Halvor and Chantico, the Park’s two resident cave trolls. The story is that these two emerged after a wildfire threatened the Park years ago. Now, together they stand sentry as guardians and unofficial Park mascots. Fortunately, they’re friendly and photogenic. Feel free to get close for photos that are sure to delight your friends and family.
If you’re after jaw-dropping panoramas, head to the Viewing Deck, located outside the Lookout Grille. From here, views unfold to the horizon. This shot perfectly reveals the beauty and grandeur of the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys including views of majestic Mt. Sopris, capped with a crown of snow.
For thrill-seekers, the Giant Canyon Swing platform offers an ultra-dramatic backdrop. Even if you’re not aboard the fright-inducing hydraulic pendulum, the view from the edge, complete with the canyon plunging away below and the ride swinging out at a 90-degree angle, makes for a dynamic photo.
And don’t overlook the Mine Wheel, a popular family attraction and a nod to the region’s rich mining history. This old-time ride pairs perfectly with the surrounding fall foliage or glistening snow in winter for a timeless, Western-themed aesthetic.
Perfect Timing
Timing is everything when it comes to great photos, and Glenwood Caverns offers a changing palette of light and color throughout the day. The warm alpenglow before sunset gives photos a magical, almost surreal quality.
Even non-sunny days have a silver lining. Clouds are actually a photographer’s friend. Without harsh shadows or squinting eyes, your photos will have even tones and soft light that flatters everyone.
Holiday-Worthy Shots
Come winter, the Park transforms into a twinkling wonderland. Winter on the Mountain is one of Glenwood’s most brilliant events, with thousands of sparkling lights illuminating the Park after dark. With backdrops galore to choose from, strike a pose amid live musical entertainment, glowing firepits, or on rides that light up the night. These are the moments that can easily become holiday cards, framed mantelpiece memorabilia, and posts that make your followers wish they were there too.
