Amendment of Garfield County Special Use Permit
January 11,2018
Introduction a Backoround
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park (GCAP) is and has been a successful
addition to the recreation, tourism and commercial base of Glenwood
Springs. Over the last three years of operations, GCAP hosted
approximately 205,000 annual visitors! Unfortunately, after many years of
steady visitor growth, annual attendance has been stagnated for a couple
years. This stagnation is attributed primarily to tram capacity.
After analysis of guest interviews and guest comments regarding their
GCAP experiences, the most significant factor has been the excessively
long wait times to ride the Tram up the mountain and likewise the delays in
getting off the mountain particularly after special events and when weather
conditions have deteriorated. Peak Day upload wait times are typically 60
to 90 minutes long! lt has been noted that there are times when there are
a still significant number of open parking spaces but the long tram wait
times deters people from coming to the park. lt clearly dampens their
enthusiasm in sharing their experience with friends and potential GCAP
future guests. Person to person testimonies are a critical element of
advertising for a recreational attraction.
Wait times are most significant during the peak late morning hours but are
also significant whenever wind conditions or the presence of lighting in the
area cause the Tram speeds to slow, and sometimes halt operation, until
those conditions pass. This past year the tram was closed at least once a
day on 45 days in the period from May 1 through Sept. Wind conditions
requiring a reduction of Tram speed can cut hourly Tram capacity by half.
When the Tram wait time becomes excessive, or for guests fearful of riding
the tram and in unusual emergency conditions, GCAP offers alternative
transportation up to the mountain facility in the form of Adventure Vehicles
which are large excursion trucks with multiple rows of bench seating on the
bed of the truck. The Adventure Vehicles load at the Tram base and travel
to the mountain top via Devereux Road, Hwy 6, Traver Road and Transfer
1
Trail, unloading at the back-side of the Adventure Park facilities. These
Vehicles are used heavily when weather conditions cause the tram to
temporarily shut down or operate at a slower speed. Most of our guests
have indicated they prefer the Tram over the Adventure Vehicles because
of speed and comfort.
Bottom line, long wait times to get up the mountain and to get down from
the top seriously degrades the guest's experience and therefore reduces
their desire to return or to personally promote GCAP to their friends and
family.
At this time, parking is not an issue; however, as GCAP continues to grow
shuttle service will be provided to future remote parking lots during the
peak season. The City of Glenwood Springs approval of the lron Mountain
Hot Springs included a provision for parking at that facility for GCAP guests
when served by a shuttle to the Tram base.
A rebuild of the existing Tram to increase hourly capacity is the subject of
this application as described by the following text.
Existino Soec ial Use Permit
Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park and Tram operate under a GARCO
Special Use Permit first issued in 1998 and most recently amended in
2012. Within the City of Glenwood Springs, the Tram and Tram base
facilities operate under a Major Development Permit and Special Use
Permit originally issued in 2002 with the most recent amendment of these
permits being issued in 2012. The GARCO Special Use Permit, as
amended, includes a Condition of Approval that limits the maximum
number of Tram cabins to 18. This application requests to amend this
Condition to allow up to 44 cabins on the Tram. Under the new GARCO
Land Use Code the amendment is processed as a Major Land Use Change
Permit.
Application is also being made to the City to amend the current permits to
accommodate the Tram rebuild and to build a new Tram base building that,
in addition to the ticketing and Tram operations, will include retail space,
restrooms and, on a second level, office space.

Tram Rebuild
The owner, Steve Beckley, has investigated alternative methods by which
to move people to the mountain top facilities but all have proven
prohibitively expensive. Recently, Leitner-Poma out of Grand Junction, CO
presented a proposal to Steve which would replace the existing 18 fixed-
grip Tram passenger cabins with 44 detachable cabins. Each will
accommodate six passengers like the current Tram cabins. The new Tram
hourly capacity would be 1,000 people per hour, a significant increase over
the current Tram capacity of 300 people per hour.
The Tram rebuild will utilize the existing towers and sheave assemblies
located on the towers. All the tram equipment at the top and bottom
stations will be replaced with new equipment. The drive system will be
switched from a bottom drive system to a top drive system which is
significantly more efficient to run. When the current Tram was built, 3-
phase power was not available at the top of the Tram making a bottom
drive the only option. The haul rope and all the cabins will be replaced with
new equipment.
The new Tram will not be as sensitive to wind speeds with the ability to
operate in winds in excess of 80 miles per hour. In the absence of icing
conditions, the Tram can operate in winds up to 100 miles per hour. The
tram will be able to operate better in high wind conditions due to the cabins
being spread out along the line which equalizes the loading on all the
towers. The current tram has pods of 3 cabins which create a large surface
area resulting in significant wind loads. Also, the current tram has 6 pods
that develop issues where some towers are heavily loaded and other
towers are lightly loaded.
Also, the Tram's electronic control will be totally different than the current
system. This will allow the use of on tower lightning diffusors which will
eliminate the necessity to shut down the Tram due to lightning in the area.
The current Tram operation starts the shut-down process with passenger
unloading and/or downloading when there is lightning within 15 miles. lf
the lightning is accompanied by high winds, the speed of the tram must be
slower and it can take up to 40 minutes to unload people from the Tram.
3
The ability to operate in higher wind conditions and when lighting is
present, combined with a three-fold increase in hourly capacity, will
dramatically enhance the guest's experience in accessing GCAP!
The Adventure Vehicles will still be utilized for guests fearful of riding the
tram and in unusual emergency conditions.
This application requests the Special Use Permit be amended to allow 44
detachable cabins on the Tram.
Examole Guest C omments
1. The crowds are not the fault of the adventure park, but the pacing of
the trams for the size of the crowds attracted was not a good thing.
The lines were very long. You can see with the long lines - it was
going to take forever to get to the top.
And - it wasn't just us - many individuals and families were
overwhelmed by the length of the lines. I saw many families shaking
their heads and moving on.
2. My family waited in line for two hours to take the tram down the
mountain. This was extremely aggravating and slightly ridiculous. My
husband and I chose to take the bus which was the most
adventurous part of the day. We wondered if we would survive the
ride down the mountain. The Fairy Cave tour was cool thoughl
3. Not exactly the perfect place to be stuck for 15 minutes in high winds
while your gondola is swaying left and right from high winds.
4. The park was great, especially the caves. But when the aerial tram
was closed due to weather, we had to wait an hour for a packed bus
with no a/c. The weather is not their fault.
