Finally
Glenwood Springs is getting the praise it deserves--as it was recognized by
The New York Times travel section as a great escape in 2008. Only a 45-minute drive away, Glenwood Springs has always been a Aspen locals' favorite for it's city-like attractions (we're talking
Target, Walmart, and
KFC). It also boasts a plethora of mountain town ammenties including hot springs, the underground grottos at
Yampah Spa, cave tours, and streets lined with colorful Victorian buildings. So if you haven't already, hop on a
RFTA bus (it's a very scenic ride and it only costs $6) and check out this
New York Times hot spot.
