Dancing Bear Trading Post - Roaring Fork Valley Guide

Dancing Bear Trading Post Description

Dancing Bear Trading Post on Grand Avenue in downtown Glenwood Springs is a husband-and-wife owned gift shop with an inventory shaped directly by the owners’ Zimbabwean and Polish heritage, setting it apart from standard Colorado souvenir retail. The store carries what it describes as the largest selection of t-shirts and Colorado gifts in Glenwood Springs, alongside hoodies, hats, magnets, and mugs at accessible price points.

A signature feature of the store is its Doc Holliday collection, spanning over 40 variations of themed glassware, shot glasses, and western history memorabilia tied to the local legend with historical context woven into the shopping experience. The international handcraft inventory reflects the owners’ direct ties to artisans in Zimbabwe, Poland, Asia, and Central and South America, with hand-woven rugs, tapestries, pottery, amber jewelry from Poland, and contemporary furniture sourced through those relationships. Native American handcrafted jewelry from several tribes rounds out the jewelry selection alongside local beauty products, soaps, and lotions.

The toy section covers educational, retro, and western-themed options alongside children’s clothing and accessories. Dancing Bear Trading Post has also historically stocked Polish groceries, ethnic foods, and candy for the local Polish community, goods not typically available outside of Denver.
