Love gets a lift at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park! Go for sky-high effects when you pop the question and get engaged at America’s only mountaintop theme park.
The Look of Love
This adorable photo from last February’s mountaintop proposal depicts one couple’s sheer happiness after she said yes to his marriage proposal. It was a magical moment on the Viewing Deck overlooking Glenwood Springs and the Roaring Fork Valley. Powder-dusted mountains provided the background, moody clouds filled in above, ear-to-ear smiles from the couple captured the joy, and one very sparkly ring made it a day to remember!
Make it Memorable
Getting engaged at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park is unforgettable because it combines heart-pounding adventure with breathtaking mountain views—a metaphorical visual love story that complements your real-life one. Whether you pop the question on the gondola, beside a welcoming cave troll, or at the edge of a canyon cliff, your special moment is now tied to a one-of-a-kind place. Best of all, couples can look forward to returning year after year to relive the moment—ride the same coaster, snap a photo at the proposal spot, and celebrate the anniversary of that life-changing “Yes!”
5 Picture-perfect Places to Pop the Question
Glenwood Gondola. You get six minutes of private time inside a Glenwood Gondola cabin plus 360-degree views as you ascend from the valley floor to the mountaintop. That’s plenty of time to drop to one knee without an audience. Tip: Time your ride for the golden hour—late afternoon when the sun’s rays cast a warm glow on everything they touch.
Viewing Deck. The views are breathtaking—panoramas of Mt. Sopris and the snowcapped Elk Range in the distance, the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers meandering below, and the glimmering charm of Glenwood Springs at the base of it all. Tip: Use this postcard-pretty photo of the two of you for your Save-the-Date announcement.
Thrill Rides. Marriage is one of life’s greatest adventures—so why not kick it off with a heart-pounding ride on the Giant Canyon Swing or Defiance Coaster? It’s the perfect symbol for the journey ahead—full of ups, downs, and unforgettable moments, with your favorite person right by your side. Tip: Consider proposing before you ride. Happy tears plus high-speed turns can make hair messy and eyeliner blurry.
Trolls. Glenwood Cavern’s two trolls are friendly and photogenic. Pose with Halvor and Chantico, the resident cave trolls for a quirky engagement picture. We believe the mythical creatures help protect the caves and the park; perhaps they’ll also bring lifelong luck to your union too! Tip: Trolls love bling—hold the ring near their carved hands for a fun shot.
Caves. If you’re an avid spelunker or dream of proposing in the ethereal underground atmosphere of the Fairy Caves or King’s Row, it is possible but authorization from the cave team is required. Contact: info@glenwoodcaverns.com. Tip: Taking photos in low light and a humid environment poses challenges, keep this in mind when planning your photoshoot.
They Said Yes! Time to Celebrate!
After the thrill of hearing the word “yes,” it’s time to celebrate the happy occasion. Head to the Lookout Grille for post-proposal nibbles and drinks. The menu features simple but satisfying fare and mixologists at the bar can wrangle just about anything from a simple cold craft beer on tap to mixed-to-perfection cocktails.
