“This opportunity is a special one for me. I grew up going to Glenwood Hot Springs Resort as a kid. Now, living in the Roaring Fork Valley, I get to enjoy it with my family and friends all the time. The resort is such an iconic property with an amazing history, and I’m really excited to be part of its future,” says Hayes, who earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado and MBA from University of Phoenix.
