Colorado may be known for its snow-covered slopes, but that’s only the first of many magical things about Glenwood Springs in the winter. Come for nearby Sunlight Mountain’s 800-skiable acres, extend your stay for the countless winter activities: warming up in a hot spring, adventuring to year-round Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, or simply bundling up for a stroll around town with a cup of cocoa in-hand.
