Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park transformed into a mountaintop biergarten Saturday, Oct. 12, for its annual Oktoberfest celebration. Guests enjoyed German food, live music, face painting and a series of friendly competitions, including stein-holding contests for all ages. With Bavarian flags flying above and beer flowing freely, the event brought a festive taste of Germany to the heart of Glenwood Springs.
