Glenwood Hot Springs Pool

Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and its water

Originally constructed in 1888, the pool is described as the world's largest natural hot springs pool. Its long-running setting is paired with an active water-management routine rather than a static pool system.

A continuous process filters and purifies the water nonstop, with a complete water changeover every six hours. Mineral content includes 15 minerals in the water, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, and nitrogen.

Entry, year-round access and return visits

Entry costs $42.00 - $56.00 / PERSON, so admission is not free. Year-round operation gives visitors an option in every season.

A hand stamp lets visitors leave and return on the same day. That return policy can help organize time at the resort around more than one pool session.

Pool options and resort facilities

Shoshone Chutes river tube ride, an interactive splash pad, and a children's area are among the on-site amenities. These features sit alongside the hot spring pools rather than replacing the soaking areas.

Additional facilities include the Athletic Club, spa services, and a fitness center. A swimsuit is required, so pool attire is necessary for a visit.

A poolside Grill and an on-site Shop add to the facilities at Glenwood Hot Springs Pool. These amenities are part of the resort setting, along with the pools, water attractions, and activity spaces.
