This is an exciting thrill ride, made even more thrilling by it's incredible location at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. Perched on the edge of a cliff, with breathtaking views of Glenwood Springs and the Colorado River below, is the Cliffhanger roller coaster. Manufactured by S.D.C. this "Hurricane" model has two trains and 1,430-feet of intertwined, twisted steel coaster track. This roller coaster is also notable since it's the highest elevation (7,100 feet) roller coaster in North America.
