Tour cyclists arrive in Glenwood Springs today despite canyon trail closure
As floodwaters in the Colorado River recede a bit, the damage to the Glenwood Canyon bike path is becoming evident. A 50-foot section of the concrete trail at Barrel Springs Rapid has been wrecked by the high water, including a 20-foot section that was completely ripped out. As a result, riders on the Bicycle Tour of Colorado will be coming into Glenwood Springs today on buses rather than riding the trail as intended. The Glenwood Canyon bicycle trail is completely flooded in this section below the Shoshone Dam, just upstream of Barrel Springs Rapid. The four-foot-tall railing is nearly submerged in a spot where the normal water level is usually four feet below the riding surface of the trail. The trail is closed from No Name to the east end because of the high water, although pedestrians can still walk along the trail from the Hanging Lake Rest Area to the Hanging Lake trailhead.Glenwood Springs Events - News

Strawberry Days – 114 Years of Fun in Glenwood Springs « Summit ...
There are some events up here that have some serious staying power. I just reported on FibARK and thought WOW! That is a really longtime festival but then as I researched more into Strawberry Days it hit me! 114 Years of celebrations!!! So there must be something to it. According to their website it began in June, 1897.
Glenwood Springs was a rough-hewn town seeking to refine itself. The luxurious Hotel Colorado and the Hot Springs Pool had replaced brothels and gambling halls. Polo was surpassing poker in popularity, and in general, Glenwood was becoming a tight-knit community dominated by hardworking families. The first strawberry picnic was a small neighborly gathering, a chance to get reacquainted with old friends and make new ones, an opportunity to share the bounty of the strawberry harvest and celebrate the warm days ahead.
As the years passed, those humble community picnics gained momentum, and it wasn’t long before Strawberry Days was an event that drew crowds from as far away as Rifle. Women competed for best strawberry pie; the famous “Human Fly” from Kansas awed onlookers as he scaled tall buildings in downtown Glenwood; and carnivals captured the imaginations and pocket change of the youngsters.
Not much has changed in 114 years. Now the crowds flock to Glenwood Springs from Denver and beyond. Though the Human Fly is long extinct, mimes, magicians and storytellers mesmerize audiences instead. As for the carnival, it is a blur of flashing lights and loud music that continues to lure for a few moments of exhilaration.
Since those early days, new traditions have evolved. Dueling for the most popular award are the Artisan’s Fair and the Main Stage Entertainment. The craft fair features over 150 crafts from people from around the country. Applicants are juried, and only the best of the best make it into the space-limited fair. All crafts are American handmade items. Offerings include hand wrought jewelry, hand thrown and painted pottery, mouth blown art glass, fine woodwork from furniture to accessories, custom quilts, leather goods and much, much more.
