Hanging Lake

Located in Glenwood Canyon.

Reviewed By maggie2e

There is a beautiful Trail in the mountains that leads to a lake that is in the middle of it. The atmosphere is beautiful. You have to make reservations to do this and take a shuttle from Glenwood Springs. If you can hike and groomed and little bit Rocky Trail, it's worth it.

Hanging Lake Trail

Reviewed By debsA9982ZB

This is a very pleasant surprise when staying in Glenwood Springs CO. The location is an environmental protected area, allowing only specific numbers of visitors. Reservations are needed as bus takes you to the trailhead and from there your adventure begins. The trail winds and switchbacks up the cavern walls, the views are amazing and the quiet is covered by the running brook you criss cross over by small bridges as you ascend. The hike is strenuous at times, recommendation to take your time and breath in experience. Hanging Lake is peaceful, a place to reflect, the short detour to Sprouting Rock is well worth the effort brings a smile and gives a needed cooling spray.

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool

Located between Aspen and Vail, you'll find the World's Largest Hot Springs Pool. The Ute Indians called it Yampah, meaning "big medicine." Soothe your muscles after outdoor activities year round. The large pool is kept at a comfortable 90°- 93° F and the smaller therapy pool averages about 104° F. Additional amenities include a lodge, spa, athletic club, grill and shopping. Relieve muscle and joint pain, or just relax and feel the wonder of a soak in our hot springs. Soaking in hot, highly concentrated mineral water has many health benefits. Increasing body temperature helps the body naturally kill harmful germs and viruses, eliminate toxins, and increase blood flow. The essential minerals gives the body a natural boost. You will feel the difference within minutes of stepping in. Jump in the large pool, at over 400 feet long, and "cool down." Swim laps or practice your form on the diving board. Bring your own cooler and snacks, or stop by the poolside Grill to grab a bite.

I've been going here for over 30 years with my family and friends and this pool is definitely a wonderful experience you don't want to miss! I go as often as possible :) The main pool is massive, with plenty of room to float around and enjoy the warm water, talking and enjoying conversation, with spectacular views of the surrounding canyon walls, which are beautiful any time of year. Don't forget to try some Jacuzzi bubble action in the hot pool and soothe away stress and anxiety. During the summer you'll love the water slide. And enjoy checking out the historic buildings on the property that have been around since the days of the old West! It's also no exaggeration that the mineral water has healing powers; nothing crazy unbelievable though really. The mineral water does wonders for your skin while soothing tired muscles, aches and pains, and if you have minor scratches, acne etc. it will heal quickly after soaking in the mineral water ~ no wonder the local Indians used to visit for therapeutic purposes. Never miss a chance to enjoy the Hot Springs Pool if you are in the area; at least stop by for a short dip!

Thirty-four essential minerals are incorporated into certain signature hydrotherapy bath treatments, body polishes, body masks, massages, manicures and pedicures.The spa has eight treatment rooms including facial rooms and couples' suites as well as one specialized hydrotherapy treatment room for Vichy shower treatments. Other features include five hydrotherapy tubs for mineral baths and herbal soaks, two manicure stations and two pedicure thrones. Guests can enjoy a pre or post treatment steam in the locker room, as well as relax in the Serenity Room, a co-ed relaxation suite where soundproof windows give views of the pool without the noise.

You can book all sorts of treatments, from common massages to lengthy treatments. The quality is consistenly good, and the facilities are great. Good locker room area, with showers and a steam room. Pro tip: book a mineral bath prior to your treatment. It’s 30 minutes and includes high-quality aromatherapy bath products. My husband sometimes books mineral baths with no other treatments because he loves the mineral baths so much. If you book a treatment, it includes free access to the hot springs pool, and you can access the pool from the fitness facility (instead of going through the main pool entrance), which provides free towels and lockers. Gift shop has high-quality products.
