Colorado – Glenwood Springs Walking Tour – Walking Trails for Treadmill – 4kCity Walks Virtual Walk






Filmed at the end of February.
I rolled into Glenwood Springs a bit later than I’d hoped and I was worried about the light going down so I didn’t look up too much on the history. It’s a neat little town right on the interstate, in fact I crossed over on a pedestrian bridge to get from the historic downtown area over to the actual springs and Hotel Colorado with its hot springs. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to go for a soak but it looked enticing. The Colorado River emerges from the canyon and it’s parasite pairing with I-70. There were a bunch of restaurants open with outside dining and several tourist shops, art galleries, and book stores. I’d definitely go back to spend more time.
