Yes—reservations are required for all services, mineral baths, and vapor cave access.

We strongly recommend booking in advance, especially on weekends, when we’re often fully booked. Capacity is limited to preserve the peacefulness of the space, and the last thing we want to do is turn guests away. Truly, that’s the worst part of our job.

To make sure your time at Yampah is everything it should be, reserve early. We accept reservations 3 months in advance to the current date.

Yampah is a place to unwind, reset, and let the caves work their magic.

If you're just using the vapor caves, arrive at your scheduled time—no need to come early (Although the vapor caves are always better with a service).

If you’ve booked a service like a massage, facial or a packaged experience, you’re welcome to come up to an hour early to enjoy the caves. Just make sure to check in at least 15 minutes before your service starts.

For the health and safety of your skin, returning to the caves after your facial is not permitted, as it may disrupt the results and active ingredients applied during your treatment. Cave access is only available prior to your facial service and cannot be postponed or rescheduled.

We begin all services right on time. If you check in late, you’ll miss part (or all) of your treatment.

After your service, feel free to stick around and soak it all in.

Please Bring:

• Swimsuit - Required

• Sandals or water shoes - Recommended

• Water Bottle - Recommended (No Glass)

• A Positive, Peaceful and Open Mindset – Ready to Relax

We provide towels for all guests. If you’ve booked a spa service, you’ll also get a cozy robe. Need sandals? Just ask—we’ve got those too.

Our facilities have everything you need to get ready or wind down: locker rooms, showers, and spa essentials like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

Planning a visit with multiple friends or family members? The easiest way to book for a group is to reach out directly—give us a call at 970-945-0667 or email reservations@yampahspa.com. Our team is here to help make the process smooth and simple.

Please note our minimum age requirements. See “Age Requirements'“ for details.

Our historic building has its limitations. Massages, body scrubs and facials will be separate rooms but booked at the same time pending availability. The Body Detox, Body wraps and mineral baths will be in a shared space for two guests unless otherwise requested. Thank you for your understanding.

A credit card is required to be stored on-file to book with us to secure your spot and to uphold our 24 hour cancellation policy (The Policy is detailed further in this FAQ).

All appointments are paid in full at check-in.

For bookings after November 18th 2025:

Payment will be taken at the time of booking, coinciding with the launch of our new booking system. A credit card will be saved on file for any add-ons or upgrades.

If you’ve had a service, please stop by the front desk at the end of your time with us to check out and add a gratuity for your service provider. Our team puts a lot of heart into every service, and the suggested tip is 20% of the service price.

We know that post-vapor cave bliss can make things a little foggy, we call it spa brain. If you forget to check out, no problem, we’ll automatically charge the credit card on file to include a 18% gratuity.

The vapor caves are a sacred space—natural, healing, and deeply rooted in the history of this land. We ask that all guests treat them with care and quiet.

The caves are a silent space. Please refrain from talking while inside to maintain a peaceful environment for everyone.

Leave all jewelry, electronics, and personal items in your locker. The intense heat and moisture can quickly damage them.

Our caves are completely natural formations. You may notice loose dirt, rocks, or crystals—that’s all part of the experience. That said, the caves are cleaned nightly using a medical-grade solution. All surfaces are thoroughly scrubbed and washed to ensure cleanliness and safety. While the caves remain raw and organic, they’re always clean.

If you’re uncomfortable with enclosed spaces, underground environments, or natural debris, the caves may not be the right fit for you.

Any damage to our space or mistreatment of our team will result in permanent removal from the property. We take this seriously: law enforcement will be called, and damages of no less than $1,000 will be charged to the card on file.

Guests under the influence of drugs or alcohol will not be allowed entry. If a guest appears intoxicated, they will be asked to leave immediately with no refund.

If you’re pregnant or have medical conditions affected by high heat, steam, or enclosed spaces, talk to your doctor before visiting. We’re not medical professionals, and your safety is your responsibility.

Keep in mind: Glenwood Springs sits at 5,800 feet. If you’re feeling the effects of altitude, skip the caves and consider our oxygen therapy instead.

Gratuity is not included in the price of your service, but it is a standard in the spa industry and a meaningful way to show appreciation for your therapist’s time, care, and skill. Our team puts a lot of heart into every session, and your gratitude goes a long way.

The suggested gratuity is 20% of the service price, though the amount is entirely up to you.

After your treatment, don’t forget to stop by the front desk to check out and leave a tip if you’d like.

Tipping in cash? Please bring it to the front desk at check out and we will get it to your service provider.

We know that post-vapor cave bliss can leave you floating—we call it spa brain.

If you forget to check out, no worries: We’ll automatically process an 18% gratuity using your payment method on file for any services.

Gratuity can also be added at check-in if you’d prefer not to think about it later—and it can always be adjusted afterward if your service doesn’t meet your expectations.

EXPECTING MOTHERS:

We’re honored to care for our guests during this special time. Massage services are available only during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. For safety reasons, we do not offer massage during the first trimester—thank you for understanding.

The vapor caves are not recommended at any stage of pregnancy due to the high heat and steam environment. If you are pregnant do not go into the vapor caves.

However, we do offer a customized mineral bath for expecting mothers, with the water temperature lowered for your comfort and safety. Just let us know at the time of booking so we can customize your experience.

Yampah reserves the right to pause or stop any service at any time to ensure the safety and well-being of both our guests and team.

To ensure the safest and most comfortable experience, we kindly ask that expecting mothers inform our team of their pregnancy at the time of booking and check-in. This allows us to tailor your services appropriately—since every pregnancy is unique, we will not make assumptions.

Massage is available at any stage of pregnancy; however, it is not recommended during the first trimester. Please see our dedicated prenatal massage offering here.

Please note that failure to disclose a pregnancy limits our ability to accommodate your needs, and the Spa cannot be held liable for any complications or discomfort that arise as a result.

Vapor cave access is complimentary with any spa service—massage, body wrap, luxurious facial, you name it. If you’re booking a service, there’s no need to pay separately for the caves—it’s included.

So if you’re planning to visit the caves anyway, it’s a great time to treat yourself to something more. A massage and a steam session? That’s a full reset.
