    I visited Iron Mountain Hot Springs in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in April, and it was an amazing experience! The entire property was clean and well maintained, the views were absolutely breathtaking, and there was a great selection of snacks and refreshments available. The heated natural pools were incredibly relaxing, but my favorite part was soaking in the warm rock pool while watching the sunset over the mountains. It was such a peaceful and unforgettable experience. If you're visiting Colorado, I highly recommend adding Glenwood Springs to your itinerary. It's the perfect place to relax, take in the beautiful scenery, and enjoy one of Colorado's natural treasures.

    Get the upgrade to be able to go into the adults only section. The better pools are in the upgraded section, the mineral pools and salt water pool. I enjoyed the tub with the rocks at the bottom with a great view of the river. Nice locker rooms with showers that had soap, shampoo and conditioner.

    This place was very nice. A good mix of hot tubs, ranging from 92 all the way to 109. There were water stations supplied throughout the entire place, and it was beautifully decorated with lots of trees and plants. You have a nice view of the Copris mountain. And don't get me started on the food; the food was amazing, five stars easily. It was a nice Hawaiian kind of feeling with pina coladas and other alcohol-free choices, and also tortillas, BBQ pizza, nachos, and other great food. Would recommend.

    OBSESSED with this spot! We hiked in the morning and this was THE most perfect place to come to after. Sooo glad we came on a Tuesday. There were still a lot of people so I can see how weekends would be insane. We got the all day pass and still didn’t have time to check out every single pool. So much to see! We looooved the burnt end nachos and the pesto chicken sandwich. We were expecting bar food but it wasn’t. So yummy! Grateful for the lockers and changing rooms. And the water stations! Great staff & great experience overall 🧡

    Beautiful, well maintained. Spa feel with spa music playing, robes, numerous springs at different temperatures to try. Love it here! It's worth the time & money. Drive from Beaver Creek is an experience in itself as you drive thru the canyons and next to the river. Highly recommend!
