We all need a little pampering from time to time, and while there are plenty of traditional day spas sprinkled throughout the state, there’s no place quite as unique as this one - because it’s hiding inside of an amazing cave! This locale has been a place for relaxation for well over a century, and once you see the peaceful retreat within its rocky walls, you’re definitely going to want to visit for yourself.
The world-class Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves is located in Glenwood Springs is one of the oldest spas in the country and offers a special sense of serenity that you just won’t find anywhere else.
The spa was first opened all the way back in 1893 and utilizes the warm mineral waters from a nearby hot spring. Long before becoming a true spa, the spring was used by the Ute tribe as a sacred place of healing.
Over the course of the spa’s 125+ years in operation, Yampah has become a premier destination for those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation - and there are many options on the menu to choose from.
While massages, facials, and hair care services are always a treat, the aspect that sets Yampah Spa apart from any other is the invigorating Vapor Caves.
The three adjoining rock chambers are located beneath the main spa area and are heated by the 125-degree hot spring that sits just below the cave floors.
In addition to being a generally relaxing environment, the caves provide several other health benefits as well. The hot water and steam expose guests to naturally occurring minerals like sulfate, zinc, and potassium, which help reduce stress and soothe away various aches and pains.
The best part? Unlike many spa experiences, a visit to the Vapor Caves is actually quite affordable. Daily passes for the caves start at just $15 per person and are included with any other spa treatments you choose.
The Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves are located at 709 6th St. in Glenwood Springs and are open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (with the exception of Thanksgiving and Christmas).
