About this experience
Headline: The Rocky Mountain Triple Threat: Tubing, Hot Springs & History
See, learn, and truly experience the Rockies—don't just drive past! Your day begins with the pure, high-altitude thrill of snow tubing. Feel the rush of the mountain air and the sound of laughter as you zip down groomed lanes with spectacular alpine views.
After your mountain adventure, transition into total tranquility. Soak in natural, mineral-rich hot springs tucked away in a historic mountain town. These healing waters are nothing short of transformative, especially when surrounded by falling snow and rugged peaks. Refuel with a delicious lunch in the heart of a 19th-century mining district, where Victorian charm meets modern mountain flavor.
The Best Part? We handle the planning, mountain driving, and reservations. You just bring the spirit of adventure.

Enjoy our 6 lanes with quick tubes that will have you sliding through your day. Race friends in solo chutes, or link up with family for the closest thing to bobsledding!

Warm up at a tropical getaway in the middle of the mountains. The historic naturally fed hot spring swimming pool gives off tropical vacation vibes all year long. The hot mineral waters have been used to heal for centuries and you’ll feel the benefits with whatever soaking style you choose-paddle, walk, float or just relax on one of the built in benches. Allow the turquoise waters to work their wonders, and enjoy the tropical folliage and banana trees, ferns, and flowers that surround you-many of which you won’t find anywhere else in Colorado.

Now that you have worked up an appetite enjoy lunch in downtown historic Idaho Springs. There are many great choices to choose from. Local restaurants, brewpubs and hidden gems to suite your taste and thirsty needs. After lunch stroll through the local artisian shops to find your perfect souvenir or gift for someone back home or just enjoy the historic buildings form the gold rush days and the western vibe of town.
