Glenwood Springs, Colorado, provides a lot of opportunities for hiking: paved trails along the Colorado River, highly populated mountain trails, and challenging trails up some rather steep mountains. I've collected some of my photos here.
And here are pictures of the trail along the Colorado River between
Glenwood Springs and Grizzly Creek:

The trail along the Colorado parallels Interstate 70 through Glenwood
Canyon. The highway itself is an engineering marvel. It's built on two
levels, clinging to the canyon wall and offering minimal disruption of the
natural environment. The paved hiking/cycling/skating trail is at River
level for most of its 13 mile length. The Western entrance is just east
of the hot springs in Glenwood Springs and there are well-designed rest
areas every 2-3 miles.
