A Thousand Ice Cream Cones and Other Extra Treats at Glenwood Hot Springs Every Day this Summer

Glenwood Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Extraordinary efforts yield extraordinary results, a concept Glenwood Hot Springs takes to heart all year long, especially May through August, a time known at the hot springs resort as peak season. Summer is when the resorts water slides, miniature golf, spray-on tattoos, creamy and cool sweet treats, extended hours and savings packages come out to play, offering visitors extra options for fun and value.

We pull out all the stops for summer; its our most exciting season. We want visitors to have a memorable, fun-filled vacation at Glenwood Hot Springs, and we go to great lengths to make that happen, said Jeremy Gilley, Glenwood Hot Springs Director of Sales and Revenue.

For instance, nothing says summer like an ice cream cone, and the Grill at Glenwood Hot Springs adds summer staff just to keep up with demand for this all-time favorite treat. On a typical summer day the Grill dispenses 1,000 cones! Chocolate, vanilla, and a twist that combines the two are always popular, but flavorbursts are another way to add some zing to plain vanilla. Choose from fun flavors like root beer, peach, strawberry, blue raspberry, watermelon, cheesecake, banana, and even green apple. The flavor options explode exponentially with shaved ice. Pick from 25 flavors; for something different, try the cotton candy, pink lemon sour, or black cherry. Other cool summertime treats available at the Grill include fruit smoothies and iced coffees. The Grill is open daily for breakfast and lunch during peak season from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and the Snack Bar is open from 11:00 AM to 6:30 PM.

As the worlds largest hot springs pool, Glenwood Hot Springs knows how to make an extra big splash. Aside from a pool the length of a football field, two water slides the Green Amazon and the Blue Comet provide thrills for daredevils both young and young at heart. Each slide offers over 300 feet of twists and turns, cascading down more than four stories! Slides are open daily in the summer from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and riders can choose passes with four, eight, or unlimited rides. One of the best summertime values is called the Super Splash and combines admission to the Glenwood Hot Springs Pool, an all-day water slide pass, and a slice of pizza and refillable drink cup from the Grill; weekend rates for adults are $ 43.25, children $ 36. Weekday rates are slightly less. A Splash package is also available and includes pool admission, an eight-ride water slide pass and refillable drink cup for $ 29.50 for adults, $ 22.50 for children.

Another Glenwood Hot Springs extra that parents of youngsters appreciate is the Kiddie Pool, located at the east end of the property. A few inches of water and a gentle fountain are all it takes to keep kids safely corralled and entertained, while ample deck space provides plenty of room to spread out toys and gear. Of course, a Glenwood Hot Springs lifeguard is on duty at all times, keeping a watchful eye on tots. Kiddie Pool hours are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.

Perhaps the most obvious cue that summer has arrived at Glenwood Hot Springs is the appearance of poolside cabanas across the property. These temporary shelters provide extra shade on sunny Colorado days, as well as privacy. Each of the resorts five cabanas is equipped with cushioned patio furniture, a ceiling fan, four plush towels, and a drink cooler stocked with ice and four bottles of water. Cabanas are only available during peak season and can be rented for a full day for $ 85 or for a half-day for $ 50.

Other venues that are extra popular during peak season are the Airbrush Temporary Tattoo Tent and the Glenwood Hot Springs Miniature Golf. The tattoo tent is located next to the Slide Hut near the deep end. Choose from a selection of nearly 300 temporary tattoos. There are designs to suit every taste, including zodiac, Chinese and Celtic symbols, animals and transportation; choose a single design or build a custom work of art. The alcohol-based tattoos are waterproof and last up to five days. Prices range from $ 4 to $ 15 depending on size. Open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Anyone up for an extra challenge will find it on the Glenwood Hot Springs Miniature Golf Course. Located near the water slides, the venue is shady, providing a break from the summer sun. The 18-hole course includes bridges, tunnels, streams, waterfalls and the opportunity to win a free game by shooting a hole-in-one. Summer hours are Noon 10:00 PM, Sunday Thursday, and Noon 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Adults play for $ 6.25, children for $ 4.25.

With the arrival of summer comes extra-long days and extra time off from work and school; make this summer extraordinary at Glenwood Hot Springs. Find out more at http://www.hotspringspool.com.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa Announces a Line of Signature Body Care Products that are All-natural, Not Tested on Animals and Chemical Free

Ojo Caliente, NM (PRWEB) May 25, 2012

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa has recently introduced its natural and organic signature body care line, which features nine products of custom blended scents in either Desert Rain or Desert Sage, plus a shimmery Mica Creme. The two scents are derived from pure essential oils and wild-crafted herbs and plants indigenous to Northern New Mexico. All of the products are paraben-free, sulfate-free, 74%-93% organic, are not-tested on animals, and are free of toxic and synthetic chemical ingredients. The body creams are particularly beneficial for dry skin. The Ojo Caliente Signature Body Care products are now for sale in the Ojo Gift Shop and web store, with four of the products also being offered as amenities in Ojos guest rooms. The amber retail bottles are made of PET, an environmentally and health-friendly inert plastic. The in-room amenities are delivered in stylish dispensers to avoid contributing disposable bottles to the landfill.

The Ojo Signature products have been developed with a Santa Fe master herbalist, using native plants, harvested by hand at optimal time, in sustainable fashion with respect to the land. The fresh, earthy Ojo line is meant to enhance the guests therapeutic experience by harnessing the healing properties of these high desert plants. Guests can bottle their experience, take it with them and re-connect to Ojo wherever they may be.

The Desert Sage and Desert Rain lines each include shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body cream. The star ingredient found in Ojos Mica Creme is in fact micaa glittery mineral harvested from the Mica Caves at Ojo. Native Americans were known to crush the Mica and adorn their bodies with the sparkling chips for sacred ceremony. Mica acts as a crystal and creates a barrier to protect the skin while magnifying and reflecting light. The Mica Creme adds a natural shimmer, which brightens overall tone and complexion and aids in regenerating the skin. Each product features the properties of different essential oils, herbs and plants; for example, the yucca root in Ojos wild crafted shampoo has been used in the Southwest for centuries for its cleansing properties. Vitamins B & E enhance conditioning, while calendula softens your hair. The essential oils in the Desert Sage formula include pine needle for its purifying and decongestant qualities, and desert sage for its cleansing and antibacterial properties. The oils used in the Desert Rain Body Creme include cedarwood for its antiseptic and astringent qualities, geranium as an immune-stimulating tonic, and lavender for its antiviral and sedative qualities.

"The Ojo Signature Body Care was developed to complement the many natural elements that are part of Ojo, including the sacred waters and treasured land. It was our intention, by using native plants indigenous to the area, to capture a sense of place that is unique to Ojo and the high desert of Northern New Mexico," said Jen Scott, owner.

Both scents are being very well received by all of our guests, and the earthy Desert Sage line has been especially appealing to men, she added. She also mentioned Ojos plan to take the line of products into the spa as amenities for day guests.

A full list of the carefully formulated ingredients of each product can be found at http://www.ojospa.com. The Desert Rain and Desert Sage products range in price from $ 17 to $ 23, and $ 40 for the Mica Creme.

Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa has captured the natural, healing elements of the high desert in their new, organic signature body care line. The shining star of the product line is the one-of-a-kind, sparkling Mica Creme that uses the glittery mineral harvested directly from the Mica Caves at Ojo Caliente.

The Ojo Caliente Signature Body Care products are now for sale in the Ojo Gift Shop and web store.

Just north of Santa Fe, the Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs Resort & Spa is nestled in a valley located below the ancient ruins of Posi or Poseuinge, the village at the place of the green bubbling hot springs, which was inhabited by ancestors of todays Native American Tewa Tribes. The sacred waters anchored Ojo as a gathering place and a source of healing for hundreds, even thousands of years.

"The Ojo Signature Body Care line was developed to complement the many natural elements that are part of Ojo, including the sacred waters and treasured land, said Jen Scott, owner.

The in-room amenities are delivered in stylish dispensers to avoid contributing disposable bottles to the landfill. The fresh, earthy Ojo line harnesses the healing properties of these high desert ingredients, and allows you to experience a little bit of Ojo Caliente wherever you are.
