See, learn, explore, and truly experience the Rockies—don’t just drive past! Your day begins with the pure, high-altitude thrill of snow tubing at a premier local ski area. Feel the rush of the mountain air and the sound of laughter as you zip down groomed lanes with spectacular alpine views. You’ll take in breathtaking panoramic views from the summit and can warm up with a steaming beverage by the fire in the lodge before your next adventure.
After your mountain tubing high, transition into total tranquility. Find true restoration in natural, mineral-rich hot springs tucked away in a historic mountain town. These same sacred waters have been used for centuries by the native Ute and Arapaho for healing and spiritual renewal. These healing soaks are nothing short of transformative, especially when surrounded by falling snow and rugged peaks.
Re-fuel with a delicious lunch in the heart of a 19th-century mining district, where Victorian charm meets modern mountain flavor and local artisan stores. The entire day is filled with the scenic beauty of the Rocky Mountains and rugged canyons, offering chances to spot local wildlife in their natural habitat.

Know Before You Go
Tubing
Must be over 36″ cannot ride on a lap. Children must be over 4 years old. There is a motorized mat, magic carpet, that pulls you and your tube back up to the top of the mountain (similar to a moving sidewalk). On average 8 runs can be done in the hour of time.
Hot Springs
Because the mineral water bubbles up from the core of the Earth, its different than a pool and offers health benefits that ordinary pools don’t. The natural mineral waters are an excellent source of vitamins for your skin and hair, and in order to ensure your safety, a minimal amount of chlorine is used in the pools. We recommend that you leave your jewelry off as the mineral water can damage certain types of metals.
