How to experience all 5 pools

At Yampah Mineral Baths, you’ll enjoy a rejuvenating journey through five distinct pools, each offering specific therapeutic benefits. Start by warming up in the beautiful Cascade Waters with the soothing sound of water rhythmically splashing behind you. Or ease into Sacred Waters with it’s infinity edge giving you an uninterrupted view of the Rocky Mountains during the day or the stars at night. Then venture to Inhale and Exhale Cold Plunges, where visitors experience the invigorating effects of cold-water therapy. Immersing in cold water for 30 seconds to 5 minutes triggers physiological responses, including vasoconstriction and the release of hormones like adrenaline, believed to offer benefits such as reduced inflammation, improved recovery, and enhanced mood. Next transition into the warm, soothing mineral waters of Falling Waters, reminiscent of ancient geological formations, the gentle cascade of water sets the tone for relaxation, accompanied by the therapeutic massage effect of mineral-rich springs.
