One of America's most unique theme parks is located right here in Colorado. I was looking for new things to do around Colorado on TikTok, and I discovered a theme park that I was unaware of before: Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.

What A Mountain Top Theme Park Is

Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, located in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, is a theme park for anybody who loves the outdoors. Their roller coasters, swings, and other attractions are not for the faint of heart. All of their attractions use its natural landscape as part of the ride.

You bob and weave through mountains, drop over cliffs, and scream with Colorado mountains in the background. It looks epic. And also a nightmare if you are scared of heights.

One of their rollercoasters, Defiance, is only a minute long but takes you through a 110-foot fall through nature.

This seems like a bucket list destination for anybody who loves the thrill of a roller coaster.

You are also able to explore caves.

Step Food Into Your Favorite Western Movie

When you are off the rides, it looks like you are dropped in a classic western starring Clint Eastwood. There are also a ton of fun restaurants, shops, and museums to explore.

Some of the rides are also available during the winter months.
