Glenwood Springs-Blizzard’s Hometown
Mary Bowling | 14 February 2008 |
Glenwood Springs, in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado, is Blizzard Internet Marketing’s hometown. This is where we live and work and play. Have you ever wondered where the heck Glenwood Springs is? Or why anyone would want to live there? Believe it or not, it’s not quite as small or out of the way as you may think.
Last week, Glenwood Springs made the big city news as a featured destination in the New York Times Travel Escapes section. The article, by travel writer Helen Olsson, tells the rather interesting history of our town. (It was originally named Defiance, if that gives you any clues to our hometown character.) Then, she goes on to write about all the outdoor fun we have in every season and describes some of the unique attractions in our area.
Legend has it that the Ute Indians, the original Glenwoodies, placed a curse on our valley and that anyone who visits will not be able to leave. I arrived here on a temporary job assignment nearly 30 years ago. I guess the curse worked!
