The Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves in Glenwood Springs, Colorado offer a unique and historic spa experience. Naturally formed by the Yampah Hot Springs flowing through underground cave formations, these steam rooms provide a truly natural and rejuvenating environment. A two-hour time limit for each cave appointment allows for ample relaxation and ensures availability for all guests. Reservations are highly recommended due to limited capacity. Guests must be 13 years or older to enter the vapor caves.

Swimsuits are required at all times within the vapor caves, and two towels are provided with admission. Additional towels can be rented for a nominal fee. Common locker rooms and showers are available for guest use. Remember to bring your swimsuit, sandals or water shoes, and a water bottle. Most importantly, bring a positive and relaxed mindset to fully embrace the tranquil environment.

The Yampah Spa and Vapor Caves prioritize wellness and relaxation. The vapor caves are designed as a quiet space for meditation and rejuvenation. Talking is discouraged to maintain the peaceful atmosphere.

To preserve the natural environment of the caves and prevent damage to personal items, guests should leave all belongings, including jewelry and electronics, in their lockers. The vapor caves are a natural formation, so loose dirt, rocks, or crystals may be present on the floor, benches, or walls. This is a normal part of the cave’s natural state. Individuals with phobias related to dirt, caves, crystals, or underground environments may want to reconsider visiting.

Any damage to the facilities or disrespectful behavior towards staff will result in immediate and permanent removal from the premises. Law enforcement will be contacted for any vandalism, and significant financial penalties will be applied. Intoxicated individuals will be denied entry or removed from the property without a refund.

Pregnant women and individuals with pre-existing medical conditions that may be aggravated by steam rooms, saunas, or high heat should consult a doctor before using the vapor caves. Glenwood Springs’ high altitude (5800 feet) can cause altitude sickness. If you experience altitude sickness symptoms, avoid the vapor caves and consider aromatherapy oxygen therapy instead.

Guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Massage and scrub services are available for those 18 and older. Wraps and facials are available for guests 16 and older. For those under 18 receiving services, a parent or guardian must be present and sign a consent form.
