About Downtown Glenwood Springs
Glenwood Springs sits in western Colorado where the Roaring Fork River meets the Colorado River, and its downtown is organized around Grand Avenue, the main street through the center of town. The area is known for its hot springs, which have drawn visitors to the town for well over a century. The historic Hotel Colorado is a longtime downtown landmark, and the Glenwood Springs Amtrak station sits close to the center of town. For this guide, we define downtown as the area within about a quarter mile of Grand Avenue, so it covers the compact, easily walked core of the city.
