Alpine Retreat at RockResorts Spa at The Arrabelle at Vail Square

A trek through Colorado's backcountry — be it a hike, mountain-bike adventure or horseback trailride — is likely to leave you with a few sore muscles. The Arrabelle will heal those wounded warriors with this dry brush scrub, warm wrap and massage designed to draw out toxins and increase circulation, all of which speed up the healing process to get you back on the mountain tomorrow. Many of the spa's treatments are inspired by Vail's alpine-valley locale and incorporate natural ingredients and aromas from the area, including mountain juniper, lavender, white pine and cedar.

Rocky Mountain Relaxation at The Peaks Resort & Golden Door Spa in Telluride

This two-step body polish and hydration wrap leaves skin feeling nourished and replenished after a day of alpine playtime outdoors. An invigorating exfoliation process, using gentle buffing grains, is followed by lavender oil that sooths and promotes skin hydration, along with shea butter. This restorative body treatment is served with a mood-lift tonic.

The Springs Resort's AquaZen Mineral Pool Therapy in Pagosa Springs

The purported curative powers of the Great Pagosa Hot Springs were so highly valued that Native Americans battled to claim ownership. Today, visitors can experience for themselves what makes the springs so captivating at The Springs Resort, which is situated along the banks of the San Juan River. Immerse yourself in romantic secluded pools filled with mineral-rich waters or enjoy family-friendly swimming areas.
