New Hot Springs Pool Complex In Glenwood Springs Boasts Majestic Views
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4) - A new hot springs pool complex opens in Glenwood Springs this Saturday.
The Iron Mountain Hot Springs is the town's newest geothermal attraction on the bank of the Colorado River. Although it will open to the public on Saturday, a grand opening celebration is in the works for later this summer.
"The Iron Mountain Hot Springs offers 16 mineral hot springs soaking pools and a freshwater family pool with a jetted spa," a news release stated.
There is a family pool with 86,000 gallons of fresh water that's "heated to a comfortable 90 degrees Fahrenheit by the geothermal exchange." There's also a smaller, elevated whirlpool spa with a water temperature of just over 92 degrees.
"A waterfall provides calming sounds as water cascades from the upper to the lower section."
For those who like it a little hotter, there are 16 "smaller, naturally shaped pools filled with thermal mineral waters that range from 98 to 108 degrees."
The Iron Mountain Hot Springs boasts views of the Colorado River, Iron Mountain, Red Mountain, the Flat Tops and the twin peaks of Mt. Sopris to the south.
"We have really focused on the guests' experience," explained co-owner Mogli Cooper. "The location, shape and features of each of the pools, the materials and colors we used and the team we've built -- it's all been about providing a world-class hot springs destination where people can enjoy the therapeutic, natural mineral waters."
