Glenwood Springs Hot Springs

Glenwood Spring Hot Springs is the home of the world's largest mineral Hot Springs Pool.

When people think of Glenwood Springs the first thing they imagine is splashing in the warm mineral water. The history of Glenwood Springs has always been a history of hot water.

For centuries The Utes would visit the valley of the “Big Medicine” to take the waters. They believed that hot waters had magical healing powers both mentally and physically.

It does have magical healing powers! Relaxing in the warm water and contemplating the towering mountains and the drifting clouds is a perfect cure for stress.

Leaving Glenwood Springs Hot Springs without soaking in the pool should be considered a felony. It is the best way I know to recuperate from an active day of playing in the mountains. You can sit in the warming water and let it massage your sore muscles. It is so relaxing.

You can splash and soak in the world’s largest outdoor mineral hot springs pool. I prefer the pool after the stars come out. The crowds and kids are having dinner. It is quite and more romantic, it just adds to the mystic of “taking the waters”.

The Glenwood Springs Hot Springs Pool does get very crowded especially on the weekends. During these times it definitely has more of a "pool" feel than a "hot springs" feel.

But I love soaking in the pool, especially at night during a winter snowstorm, watching the flakes drift through the lights and disappear into the water. It great fun.

Splashing in the warm pool is an excellent way washes your worries away and once you have experienced “Big medicine,” you will be eager to return to Glenwood springs Colorado.
