The Yampah Hot Springs, considered a sccred healing spot by the Ute Indians for hundreds of years, feeds the Hot Springs Lodge and Pool with 3.5 million gallons of hot, mineral-rich water every day. Named by the Fine Living Channel as one of the "Top Ten Cool Pools" and one of the "Top Ten Hottest Hotel Pools" by the Travel Channel, the Hot Springs Pool is the world's largest man made hot springs pool and a relaxing activity that can be enjoyed all year round.

The Pool is more than two blocks long and is surrounded by the beautiful Rocky Mountains along the banks of the Colorado River. Mineral-rich water is captured at 122* F., allowing the therapy pool to be kept at a soothing 104* F. and the main pool at 90-93* F. Features like water slides, inner tubes, diving boards and bubble chairs bring out the kid in everyone. Both water slides - The Green Amazon and The Blue Comet - cascade down more than four stories with over 300 feet of twists and turns. Visitors also have access to modern locker room facilities, lounge chairs, towel service and swimsuit rentals.

Visitor descend a stairway inside the main building and pass through a stone corridor into the caves. An atmosphere of well-being pervades throughout the soothing stillness of the caves. Relax on marble slab benches in the rocky alcoves and inhale the natural steam vapor in the warm, dimly lit cave chambers. Stress and tension melt away effortlessly. Cave temperatures average 110-112* F. allowing repeated visits of 10-12 minutes separated by brief rests in a nearby cooling room or upstairs in the spacious solarium.
