Glenwood Springs Getaway Roundtrip from Denver
4-day Denver roundtrip rail getaway to Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Amtrak Vacations runs this four-day, three-night independent rail vacation as a roundtrip between Denver and Glenwood Springs, Colorado, on the California Zephyr in Coach class. The package includes three nights' hotel accommodations in Glenwood Springs and admission to a Tram and Cave tour of Glenwood Caverns, where visitors see the formations of stalactites and stalagmites. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so the order of the rail journey and the hotel stay is not specified in advance. Glenwood Springs sits along the Colorado River in the Rocky Mountains, and the trip's highlights describe activities available in town, including bike riding, horseback riding, kayaking, fishing, rafting, a round of golf and a soak in the town's mineral hot springs. This suits independent travelers who want a short rail getaway to one Colorado mountain town, with time to choose their own outdoor activities rather than following a fixed schedule.
