It is difficult to say for certain when people first enjoyed the natural springs here at Glen Ivy. We know the Native Americans enjoyed the blend of cool and warm waters that flowed naturally from Coldwater Canyon in the Temescal Valley. As time went on, the popularity of the springs grew while people sought after the relaxing, health-promoting powers of the mineral and sulfurous waters. Today, visitors can enjoy a thorough soak in these soothing waters as minerals are absorbed through the skin and the warmth of the water helps heal what ails you. Just don’t be surprised if the minerals tarnish your silver jewelry (it will require some polishing). A small price to pay for such an adventure.

Here is an analysis of our mineral water:

Glen Ivy’s mineral baths hover at a 104° in temperature, and yes, those minerals are going into your body.  If you have health concerns, ask a doctor before going in.  If you’re pregnant, we do not recommend staying more than 10 minutes in the baths.  (But you should check with your doctor anyway.)
