Snowmelt
Thermal Retreat
Inspired by the sauna gardens of Europe, Snowmelt provides guests of Two Bridges Lodge the opportunity to sweat, steam, and chill beside a roaring river in the mountains of Colorado. Pack your swimsuit and come check it out!
Snowmelt includes a sauna, steam room, and cold plunge in the Lodge building and a patio and lawn beside the river. Access to Snowmelt is available to all Two Bridges Lodge guests staying in the Vacation Homes and Riverside Suites who are age 14 and above (guests under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). All guests intending to use the facility will need to sign a waiver and secure the access code and a towel from the office prior to entry. The office closes at 6:00 pm.
Snowmelt is a thermal retreat with high temperatures, high humidity, and cold water intended for use as contrast therapy. Please use discretion when using these facilities. Cycle from hot to cold regularly. If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular or respiratory
issues, or begin to feel dizzy or overheated while using the facilities, we recommend you not use them. Bring a metal or plastic water bottle—there is a purified water station and an ice machine just outside Snowmelt for guest use.
