Get gravity and family adventure in Glenwood Springs

So my buddy G is the ultimate expert on gravity.

"Glenwood Springs practically invented gravity," he said. "In fact, everyone should call us and ask us for the right to gravity before they use it!"

When G’s family and friends come to Glenwood Springs they stay at the AmericInn in Glenwood Springs at the base of the tram.

"You should see the list my family gives me when they come to town.  G…we want a good night’s sleep!  G…we want a good breakfast at the hotel!  G…we want a hotel near a tram!  G…the kids want a Splash Bay Pool at the hotel!  G…we want an  adventure park at the hotel!  G…we want a ten minute drive to Sunlight Mountain Resort from the hotel!  G…we want to soak in the Hot Springs!  G…we want to go to the Brewpub! G…we want gravity!"

So be like G and give the gift of gravity and choose Glenwood Springs for all your family getaways. It’s easy to buy all your winter activities right here at GoGlenwood.com!

Sunlight Mountain Resort officially opens on December 3!  That’s only 26 days away!

"I am an expert on gravity," G said. "But there is one thing that Glenwood Springs will teach you about gravity."

G grinned. I had not only witnessed his brushes with gravity, but I too had been a victim.

"The thing about gravity is that it always wins."

G says you gotta get here!

G is the adventuresome underground blogger for GoGlenwood.com. G and his family have been in Glenwood Springs since the 1880s. G skies on Volkl Vertigo Motion 184s. G thinks Sunlight Mountain Resort should name a ski run after him. You can call it Super G.

The Glenwood Canyon Bike Path

This is a great ride and a wonderful adventure for the whole family. The entire ride takes you through Glenwood Canyon and along the Colorado River on a paved walking and bike path that winds through the canyon. There are plenty of beautiful spots to stop and eat, rest, and watch the rafters and kayakers get some whitewater action on The Colorado River. The 30-mile ride winds through the spectacular beauty of White River National Forest and takes anywhere from 2 to 3.5 hours. The elevation climb is minimal.

The Boy Scout Trail in Glenwood Springs

A good long mountain bike ride on a variety of surfaces that features one hair-raising single-track descent that is not for the faint-of-heart but the ride provides great views to Glenwood Springs and Glenwood Canyon. Expect 5.6 miles on paved roads; 7.6 miles on dirt roads, and 6.3 miles on single-track. The total road is 19.5 total miles with a loop trail. The whole ride takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Trailhead Elevation: 6,000 feet. Top Elevation: 7,700 feet.

Red Mountain Trail in Glenwood Springs

This is an awesome hill climb that follows an old ski-area service road that is all on dirt road. This seven-mile ride is considered easy to moderate in skill level and takes an hour or two.

Call Sunlight Ski & Bike Shop for more information. They offer full retail, rental and repair services for bikes and the locals know the lay of the land and can steer you on the best ride for your skill level.
