    Highly recommend!! Spent 4pm to 9pm here and took premium access and spent all time in Adults pool. Did 3 Sauna - Aroma (favorite), Red Clay and Salt. Cold plunge (45F) then magnesium and potassium pools. Dead Sea pool was nice too. Didn’t feel overcrowded, even on the Labor Day weekend. Always got a spot in sauna. Some pools were busier but totally manageable. Tried multiple other pools from 97-104F, depending on the time of the day. In 21+ pools, drinks are delivered to pool, which is a nice touch. Food options are decent - Drinks, Smoothies, salads. Water stations are everywhere. Pro Tip - carry a side bag, great if it is waterproof. You need to carry towel around, phones and water bottle.

    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.

    We had an amazing experience at Iron Mountain Hot Springs! We booked the 6:00 PM time slot for the 3-hour session and visited with our family of five, including our three kids (ages 13, 11, and 9). When we first arrived, it was so hot outside that I was worried it might be uncomfortable. But as the evening went on, the temperature cooled down and a nice breeze came through, making it absolutely perfect. The family pool was at the perfect temperature for our whole family. Whenever we got out and felt a little chilly, we could jump into one of the hot tubs and warm up again. The combination of the cool evening air, warm water, and beautiful mountain scenery was absolutely magical. Everything was beautifully maintained and very clean, including the facilities and the shower area. We were especially impressed with how relaxing and peaceful the whole experience felt. It was truly one of the highlights of our Colorado trip. Our entire family had such a wonderful time, and we left feeling completely relaxed and happy. Highly recommend Iron Mountain Hot Springs for families — it was an absolutely fantastic experience!

    Great place to relax after ski. 5 different saunas, multiple pools and bath with different mineral compositions. Only one thing which I think this place can improve to be absolute perfection- beverages and food options. For now it’s sandwiches, sodas, Coca Cola etc. I my opinion it doesn’t match to the upscale nice relaxing experience which this place provides. If I would be owners I would add: herbal teas (perfect after sauna), natural lemonades, fresh squeezed juices.

    Awesome experience that is very relaxing and laid back that adds to great time. The staff is polite as well helpful when needed. Would recommend to anyone because there are many small pools and large pool area that isn't as warm for change for body. Also with setting on river gives great views.
