Amtrak arrives at 413 Seventh St, at the end of a scenic route through the canyons, gorges and alleys of central Colorado. Greyhound, traveling along the less inspiring I-70, stops close to downtown at the Ramada Inn, 124 W 6th St. The visitor center, 1102 Grand Ave (open 24hr; phone 970/945-6589, ) stocks the very useful Glenwood Springs Official Guide . Regular RFTA buses link the town with Aspen (daily 6am-10pm; 1hr; $6; call for schedule phone 970/925-8484).

The enthusiastically run HI-Glenwood Springs Hostel, near downtown at 1021 Grand Ave (phone 970/945-8545 or 1-800/9-HOSTEL), has spacious dorms, cheap private rooms, plus kitchen facilities, a giant record collection and a wealth of local knowledge. They also arrange tours and whitewater trips, and are closed from 10am-4pm. Reasonable motels include the First Choice Inn of Glenwood Springs, 51359 Sixth St (phone 970/945-8551 or 1-800/332-2233; at the west end of town, which has striking mountain views, a guest laundry and a free, good breakfast.

 

The Daily Bread Café and Bakery, downtown at 729 Grand Ave (phone 970/945-6253), has delicious breakfasts, soups and salads. For dinner, Rick's, upstairs at 710 Grand Ave (phone 970/945-4771), serves elegant continental food and boasts an extensive wine list. Fiesta Guadalajara, 503 Pine St (phone 970/947-1670), is a decent family-run Mexican place near the hot springs and offers a huge variety of filling options, with its many combination plates priced around $9. A block away in the Hotel Denver, the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub, 402 Seventh St (phone 970/945-1276), will certainly quench your thirst, with its great hand-crafted microbrews.
