Two Rivers Park Path - Nature's runway, minus the paparazzi…read more This path is the Beyoncé of walking trails--well-groomed, scenic, and knows how to work a river view. It's so well maintained I felt like I should tip someone just for letting me stroll on it. You've got peaceful river vibes the whole way, which makes you feel like a woodland creature out for a wellness walk. Ducks? Check. Gentle breeze? Check. A mild existential breakthrough by mile two? Double check. Whether you're power walking, zombie-limping through a "light jog," or just trying to trick your kids into exercise--this path delivers. 10/10 would walk again (preferably with snacks).

The trail is very clear, it's basically stairs going up for the 1.3 miles - 8 bridges total. I wouldn't go on a weekend or holiday or really any time other than off times - because even then, it was busy and hard to navigate around groups with such a narrow trail. There is a sprouting rock trail to the left of the hanging lake with a small trail leading to another waterfall coming straight out of the mountain. Overall, you can see why it is so busy - oh also, you have to have a parking reservation so make sure you sign up ahead

The Glenwood Canyon drive is not to be missed! So, I didn't really dig deep into so many travel…read moredetails, when I planned this last trip to Colorado. We went on kind of a whim, so I had no idea that we were going to pass through Glenwood Canyon, when I planned our itinerary. This was such a treat! The canyon views will take your breath away. Some of the rock formations looked like ancient cities. There was some construction happening during our drive, so it reduced the speed to 40 MPH, which we were glad happened because we were able to observe the majestic views. I did not want this ride to end. There are some rest stops along the way, so you can get out and explore a bit more outside of your car. We stopped at one and had access to the Colorado River and that was nice to see... looked like there was a trail for hiking and biking, too. Glenwood Canyon is a definitely must, when visiting Colorado. I was glad that we did this during the summer and not during our visit in the winter. I can't imagine driving through this, when it's icy, snowy and has the potential for avalanches. Colorado has some of the most amazing change in terrain and things will just pop-up and surprise you, like this place did.

Far and away the best stretch of I-70 from Kansas to Utah! Hopefully you'll time your drive during…read morethe day so you can enjoy the full spectrum of these gorgeous and majestic rock formations. It's definitely much better to be a vehicle passenger so you can crane your neck to view the towering cliffs or even snap a photo or two. Even though I love everything better in the Summer, I think I might appreciate the canyon a bit more in the Winter when a dusting of snow contrasts with the red rocks and highlights all the craggy nooks and crannies. Once you enter the East side of the canyon, the adorable town of Glenwood Springs and the relaxing hot springs are only a few more minutes away. Just another reminder of why we're so lucky to live in Colorful Colorado!

Doc Holliday Trail - Hike now, haunt later…read more If you're looking for a hike with a little cardio, a lot of history, and a surprise emotional ambush by a tree--this is your trail. The climb is just steep enough to remind you that gravity is rude, but manageable. Along the way, you get killer views (pun absolutely intended) and the unexpected gem that is Annie's Wishing Tree--a ribbon-covered pine full of hope, love, and probably more emotional depth than Doc Holliday himself. I came for Wild West drama and instead found myself getting misty-eyed halfway up the trail. At the top, you'll find Doc's "maybe this is where he's buried" memorial, because apparently even in death, the man couldn't commit to a single location. The cemetery is peaceful, shady, and filled with old-timey vibes--perfect for pondering life, death, or just how out of shape you are. Final thoughts: * 10/10 for historical spookiness * 10/10 for emotional surprise tree * 11/10 for that sweet downhill return Would absolutely hike again, possibly in cowboy boots for authenticity (but let's be honest, Crocs won this round).

I had no clue back when I was a rookie in my Yelp Elite status that one of these days I would write…read morea review for a graveyard/cemetery. Hopefully this becomes one of the coolest things I have ever written. I was in Glenwood Springs for a few days earlier this week (and it sure wasn't my very first visit.) I thought I was thoroughly versed in this hot springs town and yet I had no clue about this place (which I learned from my boyfriend the day before my trip.) Still I wasn't planning on visiting this site; it sort of fell into my busy two-day schedule by accident when I decided to stroll through the town after I had eaten dinner early. The daylight was still plenty left for the evening so I got lucky to be able to do this little hike up to none other than the legendary Doc Holliday. The trailhead is located in a very quiet residential neighborhood on 12th and Bennett Avenue. At/around 7:15pm or so, there was nobody around except me (and I was in my dressy platform heels!!) When I got to the entrance, I had no clue I would have to hike up a dirt road to get up to the top to see the cemetery. It was simply too late to turn back; I was determined!! The trail is quite steep. If I was in my sneakers I would run up the hill to get my cardio at the maximum but of course, I had to go slow. As I went up, I could hear my heartbeat as it elevated. What a way to burn all the calories I had consumed earlier in my hotel room!! The view to the right (uphill) was quite nice. Since it was when the sun was retiring for the day, I was able to take some stunning photos using my iPhone. Great place to overlook the town of Glenwood Springs at the dusk. When I was almost at the top, I finally saw another soul: a solo female hiker who quickly said hi to me (to which I said my friendly response.) I saw dark grey clouds forming in the sky with some roaring of light thunder; I knew at that point that my stay at the cemetery would be brief (so I wouldn't get hit by the lightning! No joke, right?!?!) "If I could just see Doc's grave, I would be happy" was my thought process so while I was taking some pictures of other beautiful tombstones belonging to some unknown people, I rushed to his grave without wasting a moment. And finally, I saw the final resting place of the legend, Doc Holliday's grave. Doc's tombstone is more of a memorial dedicated to him as his body is buried somewhere in the cemetery (is what I read on the stone plaque/plate that explains his whereabouts.) Still, I was happy to be there to pay tribute to one of the greatest legends of the American history. While I was still concerned about the forming rain clouds to the southwest sky, I rushed to see Kid Curry's grave. Harvey A. Logan known as Kid Curry was also a legend (well precisely speaking, he was an outlaw and a gunman); his association with Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid for what's known as Wild Bunch, Kid was a bit lesser known figure for what he did along the other two.) As I was wrapping up my visit at the cemetery, what I kept hearing in the near background were the male turkeys' gobbling sounds. As if to say that this was the most fitting sound effect in a place like this, it made the whole place so mysterious. I got spooked by it a little to be frank!! As I descended my way to go back down I saw another soul with a furry animal. This friendly gentleman with his 3-year old pup carried a frank conversation with me. He certainly looked shocked to see me in my heels!! Well, final thought about this place? I highly recommend for sure! I don't know how crowded it gets during the peak hours but if you want to spend a little quiet time having the whole place to yourself then like I did, visit here during the dusk. Whether you want to go here for a quick night time cardio or just to say goodbye to the sun at the conclusion of the day, you'll have a chance to immerse yourself in the beauty and the serenity that Glenwood Springs has to offer. And let's not forget; it's definitely a place to learn about the history of the Wild West!!

I'll be honest-Glenwood Springs was just a stop along the way while I was enjoying an Amtrak train…read moreride. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's a cute little town with some fun things to do. The town is right smack dab in the middle of the mountains and has a highway going through the middle of it. There's a great pedestrian bridge that connects both sides and makes it a walkable town. Of course, there are hot springs, as the town is named after them. You'll also find a small amusement park at the top of the mountain. Down in the the city there are a bunch of restaurants and shops-all within a couple miles of each other-again, super walkable. I noticed a couple things about the town-there are a lot of consignment stores. I'm not sure if that's just the trend these days, or if that's something Glenwood is known for-but I spent lots of time sifting through clothing that ranges anywhere from used/thrift store quality to vintage designer stuff. Not all shops are equal. I also was a little disappointed in the food scene. There was a good variety, especially for a small town, but none of the meals I had were outstanding. We were also met with less than enthusiastic staff/servers/tour guides who didn't seem to care for tourists. Overall, it's a small town that certainly has some charm and character. It has potential for a weekend getaway, especially if you want a stop along the train route.

If you are able to take your time and take this hike a slower pace you should. We rushed up the incline, which doesn't feel like one on the legs but breathing sure was tough. We were trying to beat the storm rolling in. They told us at the gate that if a the storm rolled in we would hear a lot horn and everyone is required to evacuate so, whether you make it or not you have to leave. Since this is now a timed pass to hike this trail we didn't want to have to come back because of a storm. So, we rushed up and in the last 5 min it es you climb some questionable steps with a handrail but any one could slip through that rail system not just small children. If you get anxiety at heights this may not be for you. I don't love heights but I was able to do this one by just focusing on one foot I front of the other. It was unlike any Lake I have ever seen. The water is a beautiful aqua green which is naturally occurring. You won't regret it, so book that pass now!
