Visited on a Thursday around sunset. Had a lovely time. It wasn't too crowded, but almost impossible to find an empty pool. Still such an enjoyable experience. Everyone kept to themselves. My favorite pool was the Dead Sea pool. It was fun hoping around and trying each pool. Loved that the establishment was right on the river, that definitely added to the ambiance. The bathrooms & showers were very clean, the staff was so nice, and the merchandise was so cute! Highly recommend!

I visited this place shortly after all the snow melted. The drive to Glenwood springs from Denver was a just wonderful. Once I made it to the facility, I observed the beautiful views and made sure I was going to enjoy my time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had multiple pools with various temperatures. Each pools are packed with natural minerals and is naturally hot. I stayed at this place for 3 hours and I soaked in the water for the majority of the time. My skin was almost white after I exited. The views are amazing and this place is highly recommended.

Went on Sunday at around 10am for the 3 hour timed soak. My husband and I picked the world pass which allows access to adult (21+) area. I think total price was around $130 for 2. They have very clean/well managed locker rooms, and wristband system worked great. Those in the know brought bath robes/sandals, but it was ok without either for us. I liked reading about the different hot springs they were mimicking by temp/minerals. I even did the “cold plunge” for 5 minutes! They have some really hot pools (108?). We stayed around 2-2.5 hours soaking.

Iron Mountain Hot Springs is a wonderful place to enjoy hot springs and beautiful scenery! There are so many different pools, with varying temperatures and it's so much fun to go from trying them ALL! There's a stunning view of the mountains and river from every single pool! Amazing! The cafe leaves a lot to be desired - the food is pretty over priced and not great. I ordered "burnt end nachos" and it was not very good. The meat was NOT burnt ends and the chips tasted like stale chips from a bag. The kombucha was great! Overall, I'd recommend eating before you go, or getting a day pass to eat somewhere in Glenwood and return to soak.

My family and I had such a wonderful time here. The locker rooms were clean and well kept, we had locked lockers to keep our things in which was nice. They had a place to refill your water bottles at but also little stations with paper cups to get water at if you forgot to bring one. There are plenty of chairs to lay down on and so many different options to sit in different temperature hotsprings. Of course not to mention how beautiful the views are. The staff are nice and kept the place nice and clean.
