Soaking in the large, brick-lined hot springs pool (it's
615' by 75'), gazing up at pine-covered mountain peaks, you'll understand
why first the Ute Indians and then wealthy miners and European aristocrats
treasured Glenwood Springs. When the Utes were relocated in 1882, the
town sprang up, catering to the rich from around the world. With money
came trouble: by 1887 there were 22 bars in a two-block area! Doc Holliday,
who was wanted in Arizona for killings at the OK Corral shoot-out, is
buried here. The Hotel Colorado opened in the early 1890s and was the
summer White House for Teddy Roosevelt. A total of seven U.S. presidents
vacationed here. Today, people come for the history and hot springs as
much as the rugged and beautiful surroundings. Glenwood Canyon has a 9-mile
bike path and rafters enjoy the white waters of the Colorado River flowing
through the canyon. This area is also popular with spelunkers (cave explorers)
because of the number of caves and one of the largest underground rivers
in the country. The White River and Gunnison National Forests as well
as four wilderness areas can be easily reached for day hikes or cross-country
skiing. Other outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy downhill skiing at the Sunlight Mountain Resort, only 10 miles southwest of Glenwood Springs.
