The Ute Indians considered the Yampah Hot Springs a sacred healing spot. They were discovered in 1860 and 20 years later investors created the world's largest outdoor hot springs pool in Glenwood Springs. Today, Hot Springs Lodge and Pool allows visitors to enjoy the therapy pool with a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, diving pool, waterslides and kiddy pool.

The Yampah Spa Vapor Caves are natural underground hot mineral water steam baths. The hot mineral waters flow through the cave floors to create natural geothermal steam baths. The caves are three adjoining underground rock chambers.
