Swim in Glenwood Hot Springs, the 'world's largest hot springs pool,' an hour from both Vail and Aspen.

Glenwood is best known for its large hot springs pool, kept between 90 and 93 degrees, while the minerals in the water are meant to provide a natural therapy to the body. There is also a smaller therapy pool, at 104 degrees, and a spa, as well. You'll find all the amenities you need here, and within reach of lots of outdoors attractions and activities.

This is an amazing place to go and spend the day. The water has varying degrees of temperature depending on where you are in the pool so if you are worried about being too hot or too cold you can swim to the appropriate location! There was also recently a water slide built in, but I have not been since to explore that.

I used to vacation here as a kid every summer for a whole week with my family and stay in the all famous "Hotel Colorado." It is a wonderful place to enjoy quality family time or even alone time! The hot tub is so big is considered a hot pool instead, because it is the size of an Olympic pool! I give this review 5 stars, because this is home to me now. I absolutely love the pool and its history. There is a new hot springs in town, but it does not compete with the all famous Glenwood Hot Springs!

Grizzly Creek Trail

Take exit 121 off Interstate 70 (a rest stop exit), and follow signs to a secondary parking lot near Grizzly Creek. This is a great addition to the nearby Hanging Lake & Spouting Rock hikes just 4 miles East on I-70. Because these two are so popular, Grizzly Creek is a great, not very well known alternative, if you can't make it on the other hikes! Being an out-and-back route, choose the ...

Hanging Lake

Hanging Lake is a beautifully unique natural wonder. Surrounded by dramatic, pine tree lined cliffs, a unique community of hanging plants thrive beside waterfalls cascading in to this glimmering turquoise pool of water. If this isn’t enough to entice you- the trail leading up to the lake is rather delightful. Note: This hike requires permits. Visit the Glenwood Springs website for more informa...

Spouting Rock via Hanging Lakes Trail

To get to Spouting Rock you need to take the same trailhead as Hanging Lake. I made the hike in the offseason when there was still ice on the trail and using crampons were imperative. The hike to Hanging Lake is rather steep and while it's only about 1.2 miles long it takes about an hour. Once you reach the lake there is a cut off for Spouting Rock. I've seen several friends that have made the ...

Mushroom Rock and Red Hill

Mushroom Rock sits high above Colorado Highway 82 overlooking the town of Carbondale. With huge views up the Crystal and Roaring Fork River Valleys, terrain that inspires more desert-Utah than Rocky-Mountain-Colorado, this recreation area feels like a getaway even when it is minutes from Main Street. Start by parking in the lot at the bottom of County Road 107 on the North side of Highway 82. ...

Mt. Colorow Overlook

Although this hike could be done in a loop, it is also doable in the out-and-back format. I would recommend the out-and-back during winter months when the more eastern loop (beginning around Mustang Dr) is vulnerable to small avalanches. If you want to do this hike in the winter, head on Alder Avenue to Lariat Loop; keep right in the loop, and take a slight right up to the trailhead. Another o...

Camp at Deep Creek Campground

I was driving from Denver to Telluride and wanted a camping spot along the way so I decided to make a random turn off of 70 and sure enough found some beautiful BLM land to camp on. The Deep Creek Campground is along a dirt road about 2 miles off of a paved road. There are 6 camping sites along the road that follows the creek. If you're thinking of staying here long term there are time limits: ...
