Glenwood Hot Springs Resort — Jen33Travel

When you hear the phrase “hot springs,” what comes to mind? Maybe it’s ideas for a water replenishment, a fountain of youth, or maybe even a cure-all that ails you. I can’t speak to what Isaac Cooper and Walter Devereaux had in mind when they decided to develop Glenwood Springs Hot Springs, but they certainly advertised these claims to potential visitors. Apparently, that marketing campaign worked so well that after the official opening of Glenwood Hot Springs Resort on July 4, 1888, high society from the East Coast and Europe descended on Glenwood Springs.
