Enjoy the Western Slope in Spring
Spring Break in Glenwood Springs has a personality all its own. It is part mountain adventure, part hot springs relaxation, part culinary indulgence, and entirely unforgettable. If you are dreaming of a getaway that blends snowy fun with warm mineral waters and plenty of good food, Hotel Colorado is ready to be your basecamp for a week of laughter, exploration, and memory making. Staying with us simplifies your planning, keeps you close to the action, and adds a touch of historic charm to every moment.
Start with the reason many travelers flock here in spring. Sunlight Mountain Resort is in its prime this time of year. The snow is soft, the skies are bright, and the atmosphere is delightfully laid back. Sunlight recently upgraded its Primo and Segundo lifts, making it easier and faster to reach the terrain you love. Whether you are a seasoned skier carving down expert runs or a beginner easing into gentle slopes, Sunlight offers a friendly, uncrowded experience that keeps the focus on fun. Spend the day cruising through powder, soaking up mountain views, and enjoying the kind of ski outing that feels refreshingly unhurried.
If you want to add a little throttle to your trip, snowmobiling is another exhilarating way to explore the backcountry. Several local outfitters offer guided tours that take you deep into the White River National Forest. You will zip across open meadows, wind through quiet stands of evergreens, and stop at scenic overlooks that show off the Rockies in all their glory. It is an adventure that pairs perfectly with crisp spring air and abundant sunshine.
After a day of snowy excitement, nothing feels better than sinking into the warm, mineral-rich waters of Glenwood’s famous hot springs. Choose from the expansive Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, the many soaking options at Iron Mountain Hot Springs, or the naturally heated steam chambers of the Yampah Vapor Caves. Each offers its own style of relaxation. The hot springs are especially magical in spring, when cool breezes meet warm water and the surrounding mountains glow with late-season snow.
Of course, not every moment needs to be high energy. Glenwood Springs is home to miles of scenic trails that are ideal for hiking. Local favorites include the Red Mountain Trail, the Rio Grande Trail, and the gentle paths along the Roaring Fork River. Spring is a beautiful time to explore. Wildlife becomes more active, the air smells fresh and earthy, and the views stretch for miles. Pack your camera, lace up your boots, and enjoy the simple pleasure of wandering through Colorado’s natural beauty.
