If you haven’t visited Glenwood Hot Springs in Glenwood, Colorado, it’s time to book your trip.
Glenwood Hot Springs Resort was first built as a small resort in 1888.
Glenwood Hot Springs/Facebook Dubbed the “Spa of the Rockies,” this resort now boasts the largest hot springs pool in the world. You’ll find the resort at 415 E. 6th St., Glenwood Springs, CO 81601.
These mineral-rich waters were recognized for their healing powers by the Ute Indians who once lived here, and you’ll benefit from the healing properties, too.
Glenwood Hot Springs/Facebook The hot springs pump 3.5 million gallons of water every day, and these waters contain 15 minerals that will relax your tired muscles and reenergize you. The minerals are absorbed through your skin and offer many different benefits. For instance, the calcium in the water promotes bone growth, and the sulfate relieves pain and helps your body produce collagen which leads to glowing skin, and thick, healthy hair.
Set against the beautiful, rugged Rocky Mountains, this pool is the length of two city blocks.
