Stories from the Hotel Denver in Glenwood Springs

Stay at the Hotel Denver in downtown Glenwood Springs

The historic Hotel Denver is in downtown Glenwood Springs and its proximity to the Amtrak Train Station, the Hot Springs Pool and some of the best restaurants in Glenwood Springs makes it a prime spot for just about everything – including the best place to hear some good stories about the city.

The Story about the Tour Bus Downtown Glenwood

A tour bus stops in Glenwood Springs and after a group of ladies walk around downtown Glenwood Springs, they decide they would rather remain in Glenwood Springs and get picked up a few days later on the way back rather than go on to other cities with the bus.

So the bus pulls out and the ladies remain.

Ten minutes later the bus winds around the block again and the driver hops off the bus.

“Ladies?” He asks. “Didn’t you hear me say, ‘No!”

"Oh!" The ladies smile. “We thought you said, ‘Go!”

How to Experience Glenwood Springs Like a Native

Take an experience home from Glenwood Springs

How about an experience you can take home with you?

As summer fades, don’t let your hopes of great getaways go with it. Remember, Glenwood Springs is great in any season!

As a native of Glenwood Springs, my best memories as a child and as an adult are the experiences I have had here with my family and friends. Which tells me…

The best things in life are not things; they are experiences.


Hanging Lake

  • It was fishing that taught me how to be a patient observer.
  • It was hiking that taught me how to explore.
  • It was kayaking that taught me about fear and the absolute, sheer force of nature.
  • It was learning how to drive in the backcountry that taught me about the law of physics.
  • It was running through fields of wildflowers that taught  me about the spirit of freedom and liberation.
  • It was swimming and diving at the Hot Springs that helped give me confidence.
  • It was camping that taught me how to use common sense.
  • It was hunting that gave me reverence for life and nature.
  • It was climbing Mt. Sopris that taught me about endurance.
  • It was skiing at Sunlight Mountain that taught me about relationships.
  • It was biking through Glenwood Canyon that taught me about beauty.
  • It was the locals who taught me how to care for the future by remembering the past.

Glenwood Springs – we’re not about things.

Glenwood Springs is about experiences.

I guess sometimes even a native needs to be reminded about that.

Go get your family and friends and come get a Glenwood experience.
