Glenwood Springs is a good starting point for excursions into the southeastern Flat Tops, Glenwood Canyon, and the Roaring Fork Valley. From Glenwood Springs, users can access miles of motorized and non-motorized trails, all of which lead into rugged and scenic parts of the White River National Forest. Nearby attractions include Grizzly and No Name Creek Canyons, the Transfer Trail OHV/4WD route, Mitchell Creek Trail, the Fourmile Park area, and Sunlight Mountain Resort.
The Glenwood Springs area includes trails that are open to foot, horse, bicycle, and motorized use (check travel rules on individual trails before heading out). This area features numerous creeks and lakes, many of which provide good fishing opportunities. During the winter months, this area is a great place for snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Other recreation opportunities include dispersed camping, big game hunting, and wildlife viewing.
All services, including food, gas, and lodging, are available in Glenwood Springs. Visit the Sunlight Ski Area page to learn more about alpine skiing opportunities on the neighboring Aspen-Sopris Ranger District.
