Glenwood Springs is one of the most noted tourist resorts in 

 Colorado and the natural outfitting point for hunting, fishing, and 

 camping parties going into the mountains. It also enjoys a wide 

 reputation as a health resort. The hot springs have well-known 

 medicinal qualities, and provide a constant supply of clear water 

 for the great open-air swimming pool, which covers over an acre. 

 In connection with the hot springs is a fine stone bathhouse and 

 numerous vapor caves. Excellent hotel accommodations are avail- 

 able, and liberal stop-over privileges are allowed on all railroad and 

 Pullman tickets. 



Many interesting trips radiate from Glenwood Springs. A 



journey of 12 miles up Glenwood Canyon, over a good automobile 



_- . ^ ^ road, includes Spouting Rock, an extinct volcano 



Hanging Lake. 



crater at Dotsero, Grizzly, and No Name Creeks, and 



Hanging Lake, which is reached by trail from Dead Horse Creek, a dis- 

 tance of I mile. The scenery along this route is unsurpassed. Canyon 

 walls in many places tower hundreds of feet above, and the lake has 

 the appearance of hanging on the side of the mountain. Geologists 

 believe the lake to have been formed by deposits of lime accumulating 

 on the side of the mountain through past ages. Spouting Rock 

 Creek, which flows into the lake, and Bridal Veil Falls are also interest- 

 ing features of the scene.
