The world’s largest hot springs pool is at historic Glenwood Hot Springs Resort, in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, a 2.5-hour drive west of Denver. This year, the resort added more ways to relax and soak with the introduction of Yampah Mineral Baths on the east end of the pool. Yampah Mineral Baths features five spacious new pools filled with pure mineral-rich water from on-site Yampah Source Spring, a shade pergola and an outdoor lounging area with a fireplace.

Yampah Mineral Baths was designed for adults and children to enjoy throughout the day, before transitioning to adults-only at 5 p.m. The five pools of varying temperatures are part of a design that includes waterfalls, infinity edges and a natural stone grotto. The new pools range in temperature from 52 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the Inhale cold water therapy pool, to 100–104 degrees Fahrenheit in the warmer Cascade Waters. Cold plunging has been known to help with workout recovery, boost immunity, decrease inflammation, improve mood and increase metabolism.
The Ute people were some of the earliest discoverers of this therapeutic hot spring and named it Yampah, meaning “big medicine.” The Yampah Source Spring provides Glenwood Hot Springs Resort with a continuous flow of 122-degree, mineral-filled water at the rate of 3.5 million gallons of water per day. The water is used not only to fill Yampah Mineral Baths and the historic Grand Pool and Therapy Pool but also to heat the resort’s 107-room lodge and historic bathhouse; clear sidewalks and pool decks of ice and snow; and heat domestic water supplies for showers, the athletic club, on-site laundry facility and more.

“We are thrilled to unveil Yampah Mineral Baths for the summer season,” said Kevin Flohr, president and CEO, Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. “This new area is designed to be a meditative place to soak in the warm geothermal waters, try the cold contrast therapy, and relax in a beautiful mountain environment.”
With these new pools, the resort now offers a complete end-to-end water experience, with a quieter and more refined option in Yampah Mineral Baths on the east end, two historic pools in the center and the family zone on the west end. Guests can spend a whole day with friends and family, and everyone can find their corner to enjoy or sample the various areas.

There is no extra cost to enjoy the new Yampah Mineral Baths. All overnight stays at Lodge at Glenwood Hot Springs Resort and pool passes provide access to all open pools. No pool reservations are needed, and guests can come and go as they please throughout the day to fully enjoy the resort and explore trails, rivers, shops and restaurants.
Glenwood Hot Springs Resort also includes a full-service athletic club, shop, and the poolside Grill and snack bar. During summer, Red Brick Eats offers additional food and beverage options on the west end of the pool. From May 24 to Sept. 2, the pool transitions to extended summer hours, 8 a.m.–10 p.m., and the Sopris Splash Zone is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I recently visited La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, located on Baie Longue (Long Bay) on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Although most of the resort is on the French side of St. Martin, a very small piece sits on the Dutch side, Sint-Maarten, making it possible to walk from France to Holland, and back again, by taking two steps. Of course, since most of the resort’s guests speak English, everyone working at the resort speaks English as well.

Fast-forward a decade or so, after a blind date led to two boys, a house in the Los Angeles suburbs and a desire to share all the San Diego things with our teens during spring break.
