Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park kicked off Winter on the Mountain with a festive celebration on Saturday. Visitors enjoyed free hot cider, fresh s’mores, live music by The Colorado Currys, and a visit from the Coca-Cola bear. Santa Claus lit the giant Christmas tree at 6 p.m., with the Grinch making a surprise appearance. Santa will return every Saturday through Dec. 22, and kids 12 years and under can ride the Glenwood Gondola for free after 4 p.m. Winter on the Mountain continues daily through Jan. 3.
