Iron Mountain Hot Springs

Iron Mountain Hot Springs is a therapeutic natural hot spring resort on the banks of the Colorado River in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, offering bicarbonated ferruginous calcic mineral waters that emerge from the same geothermal system that supplies the legendary Glenwood Hot Springs Pool — the world's largest outdoor mineral hot spring pool — in a resort town already celebrated as the site of the world's most famous hot spring destination and the location of Doc Holliday's grave in the hilltop cemetery. The iron-bearing (ferruginous) character of the waters gives them a distinctive mineral richness associated in classical balneotherapy with cardiovascular and hematopoietic therapeutic applications, while the bicarbonate and calcium components contribute to the refreshing, slightly effervescent quality that distinguishes these Colorado River canyon springs from other Rocky Mountain thermal resources. Set between the canyon walls of Glenwood Canyon and the banks of the Colorado River, Iron Mountain Hot Springs offers a more intimate thermal bathing experience than its famous neighbor while sharing the same extraordinary alpine river canyon setting.
