This enchanting image captures the Glenwood Hot Springs pool during the evening. The mineral water releases gentle steam, creating a mystical atmosphere. The resort's lights elegantly shimmer on the pool's surface and in the surroundings, enhancing the serene and inviting ambiance of this nighttime oasis.

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool

Originally constructed in 1888, the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool has been a highlight for both visitors and locals of Glenwood Springs for decades. As the world’s largest natural hot springs pool, the Glenwood Hot Springs are a must do activity for all family’s, as the current day Shoshone Chutes and newly remodeled “hot pool” and “wading pool” serve kids and parents alike. At Hanging Lake Adventure Co-op, our recommendation is to visit the pool early in the day, then complete an activity like biking or rafting to later return to relaxe in the naturally healing water. Just make sure to get your “hand stamped” prior to leaving your moring swim to ensure a free re-entery later in the day.
