Spa And Vapor Caves In Colorado

While not a mainstream attraction for most out-of-town tourists vacationing in Colorado, the Yampah Spa's Hot Springs mineral water in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, has been around for folks visiting to enjoy for over 100 years. It's right along the Colorado River, so while "easy" to find, it's still an extremely cool hidden gem in our Colorado mountains.

Yampah Spa And Vapor Caves In Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Calling themselves the "Oldest & Most Respected Spas in America," the Yampah Spa features stunning vapor caves that after taking a soak in, are said to leave your skin feeling super soft and rejuvenated. Who doesn't want that? Having never visited a hot spring location in my entire life, I've got this one on the list solely because of what these vapor caves look like. Isn't relaxing in a cave in mineral water on everybody's bucket list?

These gorgeous looking caves are described as:
