Everyone agrees that Glenwood Springs is not only a wonderful place to visit – it’s a great place to live. This picturesque mountain community has been featured in The Great Towns of America (1998) and was listed as #4 in The Best Small Towns of America (1995). Like any living thing, each passing year leaves its mark. The city of Glenwood Springs is no exception. The evidence of Glenwood’s growth can be seen in ongoing development, both commercial and residential. While other economies in Colorado and around the nation may have slowed, Glenwood Springs continues to be a popular place for businesses and homeowners.

What keeps Glenwood’s economy strong and healthy is that it is based both on tourism and commercial variety. Glenwood Springs attracts vacationers from around the state and the country who come here to soak up the hot water, play in the mountains, schuss down the slopes, run the rivers, to relax and have fun.

The town also acts as a regional trade center for the surrounding area and the county seat for growing Garfield County.
