Sunlight Mountain Resort

Visit Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park for a full day of fun! Located on top of Iron Mountain in historic Glenwood Springs, the Adventure Park offers activities for visitors of all ages: tram rides, cave tours, thrill rides, gemstone sluice box mining, a climbing wall, bungee trampoline, mechanical bull, train ride, mountain-top restaurants and more. 
 
Adventure Cave TourGlenwood Caverns and Historic Fairy Caves — Recognized as one of the leading family cave tours in the country, the Cave Tour is a 70-minute guided walking tour appropriate for most people. The Wild Tour is an extreme three-hour, guided, an on-your-belly tour that gives you the opportunity to explore the rarely visited areas of Glenwood Caverns. The 90-minute, guided Adventure Tour is less strenuous than the Wild Tour and allows you to explore new areas of the cave.  

Canyon Flyer — Hop on the Canyon Flyer — the only alpine coaster in Colorado — with individual cars on tracks that race 3,400 feet through the trees and down the mountainside. The cars are designed to carry two visitors in comfort but can be handled easily by one alone. You control your speed, which gives you a unique hands-on experience. The ride is exciting and varied, with jumps and waves built into the track to add to the thrill. Unlike an alpine slide, the Canyon Flyer makes hairpin turns and can operate year-round due to its track system.

Iron Mountain Tramway — The Iron Mountain Tramway is a ten-minute scenic ride inside six-person fully enclosed glass gondolas originating at Iron Mountain Station on the floor of the Roaring Fork Valley, near the Colorado River. The tram ride skims over the tops of the trees, with mountain views in all directions. The gondolas are wheelchair accessible.
 
The Lookout Grille — Featuring some of the best panoramic views in Colorado, the Lookout Grille offers burgers, salads, sandwiches, a great kids’ menu and more. The bar serves select wines, beers, and mixed drinks. Banquet facilities and custom menus are available for groups of all sizes for weddings, meetings, family reunions and special events.
 
Alpine Rush — The Alpine Rush zip line takes you on a thrill ride 650 feet downhill, over the tree tops, at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. Enjoy beautiful views of the Roaring Fork Valley as you ride to the top, then hang on for an exhilarating ride.*

Swing Shot

Swing Shot — For the truly adventurous, the Swing Shot launches you out over Glenwood Canyon, 1,300 feet above the Colorado River! Both the ride and the views of the Canyon are breathtaking as you soar through the air at speeds up to 50 miles per hour.*

Bungee Trampoline —Jump, twist, and soar through the air on our Bungee Trampoline. The bungee cords allow you to jump higher and higher, adding somersaults and back flips, then returning back to the trampoline with each bounce.*

Caverns Express —All aboard! The Caverns Express train ride will take you on a scenic journey through Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Suitable for all ages.*

Doc’s Rock — Reach new heights on this 32’ climbing wall with five different routes.* 

Discovery Rock — A children’s fun and learning area where kids can pan for gemstones in the sluice box mining stream and search for buried treasure in the sand pit fossil dig.*
 
Wild West Adventure Wagon — Climb aboard the Wild West Adventure Wagon and travel back in time to the days when cowboys and Conestoga wagons roamed the mountains. You’ll feel the wagon bouncing on the bumpy trail and the wind rushing by as the narrator describes the journey. This simulated wagon experience is suitable for all ages.*
