Places to recharge, restore, and renew in 2011

Spa in GlenwoodTwo trends we expect to see in 2011 will focus on families and single travelers taking more frequent weekend getaways closer to home that focus on spending more time at destinations that act as "recharge trips" throughout the year.

In 2011 savvy travelers are looking for more than just travel. It’s about getting more out of each trip. Affordable and purposeful weekend getaways that combine outside and inside activities for the whole family will be on travel plates this year.

Here is a list of winter activities to consider throughout the season:


  • Take a Rocky Mountain tech break: The summit elevation at Sunlight Mountain Ski Resort is 9,895 feet. Whether you are skiing, boarding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or snowmobiling, we promise you won’t mind giving up the gadgets and gizmos for a day.
  • Go underground: USA Today rated Glenwood Caverns "One of the Top 10 Places to Go Underground."
  • Get pampered: Spa of the Rockies, located at the world-famous Hot Springs Pool combines naturally hot, therapeutic mineral springs with spa treatments for the ultimate well-being spa package.
  • Choose your hotel experience: the Historic Hotel Denver in downtown Glenwood Springs with its unique rooms, quilts and antiques or the AmericInn with its indoor water park. AmericInn is located at the tram base of the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.
