A perfect, relaxing start to our anniversary weekend! We did the Tranquility Couples Package at the Vapor Caves in Glenwood Springs, which included a 25-minute back, neck, and shoulders massage, a 30-minute private mineral bath, and two hours of access to the vapor caves. Everything was thoughtfully put together and relaxing from start to finish. We arrived about an hour early (which I highly recommend!) to enjoy the vapor caves beforehand. The facility was clean, smelled great, and the front desk was welcoming. They walked us through the setup and provided a robe, towel, and a small hand towel. The layout is essentially one long hallway with everything you need—locker rooms, showers, solarium, and the caves themselves. Lockers have keypads for extra peace of mind, although I do wish there were designated changing areas in the locker room. The vapor caves were incredible—you feel the humidity instantly, and it’s recommended to stay down for only 10–15 minutes at a time. There’s a hose for cooling down, which came in handy. I do wish there was a clearer system for clean vs. used buckets, as people were soaking their feet and I accidentally used one to wipe my face—oops! Definitely bring a water bottle into the caves. We cooled off in the solarium between visits—it was peaceful with comfy chairs, soft music, and cucumber/lemon water. Then we were taken to our private mineral bath, which was heavenly—hot, calming, and came with an ice towel, water, and chocolates. Luz was friendly and professional throughout. The massage was a lovely way to end the package. Hilda took great care with pressure and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. My only critique is the booking system—you have to email and wait for a call to confirm, which could definitely be streamlined. But it’s a small hiccup in an otherwise wonderful experience. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for something relaxing and unique in Glenwood Springs.

my third time at this unique spa, the vapor caves are so relaxing. they are hot, humid, dark, peaceful. everything you need for a physiological reset. there's a beautiful solarium with lounge chairs and heaters where you can relax and drink water to cool off a bit between cave sessions. if you're extra hot or need fresh air, you can go out on the small porch where you can sit on benches to take in a sweeping view of the mountains. one cave pass is good for 2 hours and includes a body towel and a hand towel. I suggest bringing flip flops to wear around the facility and especially in the caves. everyone wears swim suits in the caves and brings the hand towels to dip in cold water (there are faucets down in the caves and bins to fill with cold water) and lay on your head/neck to cool off a bit. you will be drenched in sweat and humidity five minutes in. the caves are quiet, with only whispering when absolutely necessary. the caves impose an attitude of respect and reverence and most people meditate or sit in silence, eyes closed, soaking in the natural benefits of the vapors. just remember to check the clock at the top of the steps before descending into the caves and give yourself a break to chill out every 20 minutes or so. just listen to your body. I deeply enjoyed this religious experience and spent my time in the caves thanking Jesus for His love and for unimaginable blessings in this new year:)

We had such a wonderful experience at Yampah Spa & Vapor Caves this past Sunday. My sister called ahead and spoke with Brittany, who was pleasant, thorough, and incredibly helpful in making arrangements for our large group. Even though we called just the day before, the spa was able to accommodate all 12 of us with ease. Our family, traveling from three different states, came together in Glenwood Springs to relax and rejuvenate after a high school graduation. Before entering the Vapor Caves, we took a moment to honor and pay our respects to the Ute people, the original people of this sacred and powerful land. Among our family of Diné, Ute, Choctaw, and Piute tribes, we deeply appreciated the opportunity to gather in such a powerful space for us to come together, sweat and heal. The front staff—Cherri, Abbi, and another wonderful individual—were patient, kind, and informative, answering all our questions with warmth and care. It truly warmed my heart to feel such genuine hospitality. It’s these acts of kindness that make moments like these worth sharing. The facility itself was clean, peaceful, and pristine. We are incredibly grateful for the experience and will hold it close as a cherished family memory. Ahéhee', Yampah Spa, for your hospitality and care.

My boyfriend and I went to this place over the summer during a week long road trip. I had been wanting to check out their vapor caves for quite awhile, and they did not disappoint! Because it’s so incredibly hot and humid down there, there’s no way you can take your phone down there, but I wish I could’ve captured what it’s like! However I also bought us the couple’s mineral bath and was super disappointed. We only had it for thirty minutes, and we spent twenty of those minutes constantly asking the attendant for ice to throw in the bath since the water was insanely hot, like I couldn’t even put my hand all the way in it. We were asking for ice so much that eventually we just started helping ourselves to the ice and filling up any buckets we could find with it. When we were finally able to get the temperature down to a level that wasn’t going to burn us alive, the thirty minutes was basically up. We explained what happened and the staff gave us a free day pass, but that hardly covered what I spent for the private mineral bath unfortunately. But I will be coming back for those amazing vapor caves! Just don’t waste your time/money on any of the other amenities.
