No Really, 5 Reasons to Schedule a Girls’ Trip Today

No stress. Planning a girls’ weekend away is as simple as booking lodging in Glenwood Springs and heading to Iron Mountain Hot Springs for a much-deserved day or more of poolside R&R. Unlike a family vacation or a couple’s getaway, you don’t have to stick to an itinerary, your child’s nap schedule or even fix your hair, unless you want to of course. Scheduled time with girlfriends improves our lives for the better. Plan a time-out with friends that allows you to decompress, reconnect and be silly in a way you can’t with your significant other or children.

No kids.  Of course, we love them. There’s nothing we wouldn’t do for them, but sometimes we just need to get away from the kids (and husbands, boyfriends, partners, etc.) and spend time with our besties doing a whole lot of nothing much. Heart & Moxie puts it this way—For you mommies out there, just close your eyes and imagine for a few seconds…sleeping in, nobody needing you for anything, doing your own thing, getting to eat first!  All of that can be yours for a precious few days when you skate out of town with your girls!!

No judgment. By definition, girlfriends have your back—forever and always. For instance, they’ll make sure you look picture perfect in that selfie before posting it to Instagram. They won’t tell anyone if you devour flatbread pizzas and Moscow Mules for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They’ll listen to your deepest secrets, worst fears and greatest joys—if they don’t already know them—while holding your hand, offering advice and celebrating right along with you. But in order for all this to actually happen, you need to make space in your life for a mini vacation, a two-day getaway or even just a quick overnight with the ladies.

No worries. When you spend all or part of your girlfriend getaway at Iron Mountain Hot Springs, you have nothing to worry about—you can just pull up a lounger and relax. Play Goldilocks with our 16 soaking pools that range in temperature from 98°-108°F, and find the one that’s just right for you and your friends. Our lockers are complimentary, and we even stock the changing rooms with high-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hair dryers so you don’t have to tote them along. You can refill your water with ice-cold H20 at our water bottle filling station in the bathhouse. The Sopris Café serves delicious eats all day long and there’s a huge selection of beverages to choose from including wine, beer and mixed drinks, all conveniently served so you can take them with you to the enjoy in the pools. When you need to cool off, we have refreshing outdoor showers and a freshwater family pool. The mountain and river views make a snap-worthy backdrop for photos, too.

No time like the present. You’re a boss at making sure little Joey or Janie gets to school and practice on time; why not give yourself that same high priority? Do it now, put it on your calendar and make it happen. Contact your girlfriends today, book a room and make plans to visit Iron Mountain Hot Springs in the near future. Your friends will thank you.
