Iron Mountain Hot Springs

Several mini pools varying from 101 – 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Have a fresh water pool that is less warm and more refreshing. No spa services or personal baths. They charge for towel rental too. Seemed relatively clean and not riddled with children. Excellent view of mountains and rafters on Colorado River.

Loved all the pool options here. My favorite was the oasis 106 degree pool. It had a slight sulfur smell, but it didn’t bother me too much.
The facilities are amazing… modern showers, lockers, and changing areas.
I left feeling so relaxed, rejuvenated, and clean.
I will definitely be visiting Iron Mountain hot springs again when in Glenwood Springs.

A much needed alternative to the large Glenwood Springs Hot Springs Pool. This place was opened in July 2015 and it offers 16 Hot Springs, a big family pool and hot tub. It is good for all ages although they ‘perfer’ for you to keep kids out of the 16 hot springs. Frankly this rule is not even closed to being followed. This is a family place and those that are looking for a private, serene ‘adult only’ place there are specialized alternatives to Iron Mountain. The pools are REAL hot springs which consist of iron and other naturally occurring minerals. There is a slight sulfur smell which in my opinion is hardly noticeable. This smell is normal with any natural hot spring. The building and amenities are good. The locker room offer private showers with body wash, shampoo and conditioner.

This place is great, but it’s not for everyone.
Do you mind being in close proximity to others that are bathing in the same water with you?
Do you mind showering/​getting dressed near others with potential for some body parts exposed?
Do you mind the subtle smell of sulfur?
Will you become obsessed with what is floating around in the water? Ha. Ok, maybe that’s just me. I was told they were minerals, but certainly made you go hmmm.
If you answered no biggie to those four questions. You will love it. They have about 15 spas to choose from ranging in all different temps from about 98 — 108 degrees. There are some spas right against the river and some have smooth rocks on the bottom for that extra special natural feel.
They rent towels for $ or you can bring your own. They also serve beer/​wire too. The lockers are free and convenient so you don’t need to bring your bag from spa to spa.
Some people should drink less to keep the serene environment and one couple was getting a little too frisky and security addressed it. The good thing is there are several spas to choose from, just hop out and see what fun the next one brings.

The view from the hot springs was amazing.
The locker rooms were cramped but the showers are nice.
The staff were nice and friendly as they greeted us (we were a group of 11).
The pools vary in temperature (awesome).
They serve booze (Big ++++).

Facilities are new and therefore very nice. But there is still construction going on. Locker room are nice as are the rest rooms. They have bags for wet suits and old ringer washers to get out excess water from suits — nice details.
The pools vary in temperature and are very nice. Benches in them. Handrails. River Rock on pool floors. They all overlook the river making for a lovely scene.
We love hot springs and have been to five other places. We won’t be eager to comeback here. The drinking was out of control. Seemed like everyone was drunk, and loud. Not relaxing or fun. Quiet areas were not quiet.
We aren’t sure why they allow drinking in the pools except to make money. Hot, hot water, sun and alcohol just seems like a bad combination.
If we come again, we will try to come here early in the day so we can leave before the drunks take over and ruin it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Iron Mountain Hot Springs despite the rain and hail and we had to pause for. Can’t control nature. The view from the hot springs was definitely my favorite. The mountains in the distance were just a beautiful sight.
The staff here was okay, not the friendliest, but If you ask questions they answer them. They all look like college kids and have teenager like attitudes. It was our first visit there or to any hot springs for that matter and after we paid had no idea what to do. We had to ask the cashier what the next steps were. She advised us ever so quickly. So I continued to ask questions to get a better understanding.
The locker rooms are a little cramped but the showers are nice and plentiful.
The hot springs were fun. The water makes your skin so silky smooth and your hair too. Yes, the smell is interesting but that’s what hot springs are about. Just a quick shower and the smell is gone.
Though there was a lack of good customer service I would still recommend this place for the hot springs itself. Beautiful layout, wonderful scenery and just a super relaxing experience.

Terrible.
We came yesterday and everything was fine. I was told my 3 year old was free. So we drove all the way back to glenwood today and was charged $$ for a child who can’t even go in any of the pools except the family pool. The lady at the front desk was beyond rude. Blown away. We will not be back.

Really amazing. I heard there were some new hot springs in Glenwood Springs and really wanted to try them out. I’m so glad I did. At first I was apprehensive to go inside because of the construction outside but I am glad I did. There is an amazing locker room to go through to get out to the pools. Lockers are free to use. Showers were really nice. When I got outside the mineral pools were beautiful, each with a different temperature. A sign outside each pool tells you the temp. There is also a large heated pool next to the hot springs. The views are little lacking since you have to look across the river at a petsmart and some type of industrial building but otherwise it’s so pretty. Relaxing music is playing. Mainly adults in the hot springs pools which was perfect for me. I got there early enough to where I never had to share a pool with anyone. I can’t wait to go back and bring friends and family.

Such beautiful hot springs! Fairly new as well (for me anyways). Last time I was here the best hot springs option in town was the giant pool near downtown. This place is so much more intimate, beautiful, and relaxing.
We went during the week so it wasn’t too crowded, not bad value, $ 20 per adult and you can leave and come back if you keep your receipt.
The hot tubs are varying temperatures. Many times we had them all to ourselves. They have drinks here which are not a bad price, they also have a small café.
Very cute place, friendly staff, amazing views, and relaxing vibes.

The visit to the Iron Mountain Hot Springs was wonderful. In fact, I am writing this review after going back to my room following the soak and falling asleep for four hours. Total relaxation. There is a wide variety of tubs of varying sizes, along with a large family pool and a café. The dressing area was clean, spacious enough and the lockers were free. The view out over the Colorado River and across to the mountains was very pretty, making for a serene setting. There was a sulphur smell to the water, so I knew it was full of minerals.
Like the Terminator, I’ll be back.

Just came from the hot springs and we had a wonderful time. The staff was very helpful, the facilities were clean, and we enjoyed our visit very much. What a difference from the big Glenwood springs. The water is the same, mineral packed and relaxing, but also retains its scent (it’s sulfury in the way you would expect). The view is attractive with views of the river and mountains. We also enjoyed the drinks at their bar/​café. They had smoothies, canned alcoholic drinks, and even some micro brews, mixed drinks, and wine.
One thing they might be able to improve on was the soundtrack of classically redone pop songs, it wasn’t our favorite, but also wasn’t a major detractor. It was thoughtful given their location.

Omg! These hot springs are soooo nice. Each pool has a different name and a different temperature. Two of the pools have rocks and stone at the bottom for reflexology which is where we spent most of our time. It is totally worth the $ 20 per person and you can come and go throughout the entire day as long as you keep your receipt. I wish the people up front would have mentioned not to wear any jewelry (there’s a sign in the bathroom but I had not gone into the bathroom before we got in the springs) because it completely ruined all 4 of my rings. :(I have gone into plenty of natural springs on hikes and they haven’t done anything to my rings, but these ones sure did. Bummer. Overall a great place. We didn’t order drinks or food but it wasn’t too over priced. Definitely go check it out!

Soooo much nicer than the Glenwood Pool.
Today was our first time here. The pools have more of a resort feel with nice landscaping, views of the river and were super clean and well kept vs the Glenwood pool which is more like an over crowded public swimming pool.
I like the smaller pools and enjoyed a peaceful soak with nice relaxing music playing in the background. Cute little iron trees are located at each pool to hold your towels. Our kids as well as other well behaved kids were welcomed in all the smaller pools, often times we even had a pool to ourselves. There is also a larger family pool that welcomes small children but the smaller pools are in a Quiet Zone and I was grateful for that.
The 100 degrees pool was our favorite, it just felt like a perfect warm toasty bed. Loved floating in it while the cool rain came down. The 107 pool became the go to spot when the snow began.
Free lockers, clean locker rooms and modern showers were very much appreciated.
This was an excellent find and will most certainly bring us back to Glenwood again soon. Yay!

Someone wrote that there are floaty things in the water. Uh. Duh. It’s ‘natural’ hot springs. So, that’s called nature. Nature, as it turns out, is a little on the dirty side.
On to my review: soaked in five tubs. They were all hot, varying degrees of hot, smelled sulphury (see first paragraph), and glorious to soak in.
One of the tubs is right above the river with this cool waterfall feature. It was very nice and relaxing.
They have rinse off showers that are super nice, endless shampoo, body wash, conditioner, hot water and a bathing suit spinner to get the excess water out.
My ski legs feel much better.
Food is just ok.

Not a fan. Some of the pools are small and awkward. The landscaping hasn’t grown in, so it’s essentially a concrete «park» full of hot tubs. We also were grossed out by all of the things floating in the pools– come to find out there isn’t any chlorine in the water. I can only imagine what it was.
The one good part was the pool at the lowest part of the area– it had a rocky bottom that was fun to put your feet in.
Probably won’t be back to this one and will stick to the main hot springs pool.

There are about a dozen or so pools all outdoors and at different temperatures. We sat in a pool that was about 106 degrees and it was so nice after a long day of skiing. It’s just a gorgeous sight to be sitting outdoors next to the river with the mountains in the background. Scenic! Oh, and there’s a bar. Drinking a glass of wine make anything better.
My only qualm is the locker area. I don’t know why the owners would design such a small locker room area. IT IS TINY! If someone is there then you have to wait til they’re finished because there isn’t any room to maneuver yourself to your locker. There’s no where to put your stuff.
Also, there’s no vanity area. They should have visited Korean spas in LA to see how it’s done.
Tip: Bring flipflops. It’s cold outside and trust me, you don’t want to run around barefoot. And wear them when you shower too!

Every single time I come to Glenwood Springs, I make a point of stopping by the local hot springs to soak up all that natural heat. I’ve never been impressed by the Olympic size pools that Glenwood Hot Springs has to offer — as it’s ultra generic and FULL of kids. When I heard about Iron Mountain — I got beyond excited to try it out. Here are the pro’s and con’s:
PROS:
+ they serve booze
+ there are about 40 different pools that each offer different temps. One pool is 103, another is 95 — pick your pleasure.
+ Family friendly but not very many kids. SCORE.
+ $ 15/​person is a killer deal to me :)
+ they sell all kinds of jewelry, Colorado clothing and souvenirs — way cuter than most.
CONS
— Crowded as heck! but can’t blame them for being popular right?
— Location is a bit odd and kind of hard to get to. google maps lead me down and around and wayyyyyyy past their location the first time.
Otherwise — this place is awesome. I will definitely return!

I really liked these springs because I feel like they are more geared to an adult crowd. I love the location adjacent to the river as well as the variety of pools. It was also relaxing to listen to the music throughout the pools which added to the ambience. The price was average for any of the hot springs in CO. All the facilities were very friendly and staff was attentive.

They opened today and it is an absolutely beautiful spot! Plenty of room, amazing hot tubs, gorgeous views. Each hot spring has a different name and temperature, and both are displayed as you enter the hot tub. They have a bar with pretty good choices and some food options. You can place you order at the pool and they will deliver it to you (just try not to move in between!)
The full day pass is $ 25.00 and you can also get 2 hour soak for $ 15.00, but this options is not available till 8 pm (beware!). There was some miscommunication when I spoke to them on the phone about it (from LA), but the management was super accommodating and let me use the two hours during the day, since it’s not like I could come back any time. We had a great time!
This definitely will be a hot spot for Glenwood Springs!
