Glenwood Hot Springs Resort
- From $42
- 90–104°F
- 3 hr 6 min from Denver
- Walk-in OK
A large downtown resort built around the Grand Pool, which stretches more than two city blocks, plus a 104°F therapy pool. The newer Yampah Mineral Baths add three hot pools between roughly 95 and 104°F and two cold-contrast baths, and that area turns adults-only after 5 pm. Day passes are sold without reservations, and the resort runs two hotels on site.
