ℹ️ About this episode:
In this episode of LivinRvision, we finally arrive in Colorado! Our journey hit a snag with a malfunction in our Elwell Timberline Heater, which dampened our spirits momentarily. However, we didn't let this setback spoil our plans for Michelle’s early birthday celebration in the Rocky Mountains at Glenwood Hot Springs.
Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Glenwood Hot Springs in Colorado is a destination that seamlessly blends relaxation, history, and adventure. With its origins dating back to Native American use and its development as a luxury resort in the late 19th century, this iconic site has long been a haven for those seeking the therapeutic benefits of natural hot springs and the charm of a picturesque mountain town.
Back in 2013, we stayed at the “haunted” Hotel Colorado, but this time we chose the neighboring hotel. 😬 It turned out to be such a delightful experience that we highly recommend it! 👍🏻👍🏻
But there's more to this episode than just our enjoyment at the Hot Springs. Sit back and enjoy as we explore the fascinating history of Glenwood Springs, Colorado!

We were told on a ghost tour of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas that places tend to be haunted that are built from block. I’m sure it’s that tour guide’s interpretation. He also said when you get to your vehicle you should repeat “go away ghost, you are not welcome to go with us”. My daughter did just that. 🤣🤣
Happy Birthday Michelle! Celebrate you!!!🎉❤😊only “1” glass of wine Brian🤣
Whenever i need cheering up I watch your channel! And as an author of historical fiction I love all the history you share. Thanks!
Sooo, we stopped by there on our trip to stretch our legs & look around. What a neat town!
We went into the Hotel Colorado & walked around & went down that one hallway where you said “nope!” & walked away 😆 so as we got closer to the end of the hall my husbands ears started getting a high pitched ringing & it was really bad at the end of the hall. As we left the hallway it subsided. He tested it & headed back down the hall & it got worse the farther down the hall he went. Creeeepy! lol it sure is a beautiful old hotel.
That IS creepy! 😱 You’re right, it is a neat town. 🧡😊🤓
Our '24 Strada Ion developed a small water leak when it was 1 week old. I found a loose fitting under the bathroom sink. While I was in there I found red glycol in the pan under the Timberline heater. I found dripping in 2 locations where the hose clamps were allowing leaks. I replaced all of the clamps with traditional hose clamps and problem solved. While you are in there check the tempering valve, is was set to deliver 150 degree water and was a scalding hazard. Lowered it to 120 and now all is good. Love your channel and the care you put into you videos!
Wow, sorry you had that happen. That is an extremely unusually circumstance with the Grech models. As you know, we have been in 4 different units now and those things have never happened. All manufacturers will have a fluke once in a while where some manufacturers have repeated issues.
Thanks so much and thanks for sharing. 🧡😊🤓
That place is Beautiful!! Love all the history!! Got a big kick out of Brians face when he could only have a bite of that pie!!
Colorado is such a beautiful place. That is a bucket list.
I love driving eastbound I-70 in the early evening with the sun to my back. Beautiful views through Utah.
We really liked those hot springs. They are kid friendly and near really good friends of ours.
Happy birthday, Michelle🥧🍰
Such a coincidence, we watched the video over lunch at a rest area just outside Glenwood Springs! 😂
😂 Didn’t happen to be “No Name Rest Area” did it? That’s where we were going to stop at but ended up at Grizzly Rest Area.
@@LivinRVision we tried to stop there, but cars had parked in the RV/trucks area so there was no space for us. We’re headed in the direction of Grand Junction so the first rest area after Glenwood Springs.
@rvcruising oh gotcha, opposite direction. Safe travels!
@@LivinRVision thanks, you too! We have driven that section to Vail and Breckenridge several times in both directions. Gorgeous!
How do you guys keep bringing great content? Totally amazing. It has to be really hard to keep coming up with great video after great video.
It’s a struggle at times. So glad you enjoy and appreciate it all. 🧡😊🤓
Thanks for sharing again top notch both you very well done, good history recaps
As always, I enjoy your content. Nice mix of informative, scenery, humor, and music. Keep up the great work.👍
Nice job both you thanks for sharing
That was a fun video. Thank you for all the hard work you do to let us go with you guys on these wonderful journey's
Thankyou for sharing your spooky encounter, so now it’s a must do for us!
Great video! FUN to watch! Thank you!
Beautiful scenery!
Enjoyed your video. Beautiful scenery
Great video! Beautiful scenery too! I absolutely Love Colorado ❤
Another great video guys! We love that area of Colorado. Thanks for taking us back there! See you in a few months!
🧡😊🤓
Happy birthday Michele😊 I live a hour away from Glenwood and have visited the area many times. I have a new appreciation of the history from watching your video. I have even stayed at the Hotel Colorado and did not know it was haunted. I love the history you shared. Happy travels😊
Happy birthday, Michelle! I believe your story on haunted hotel, we experienced that in Maine , we couldn’t sleep at all, and checked out early. Looks like your birthday holiday was joyful.
Brian and Michelle you haven’t changed at all! I can’t wait to get back out to beautiful Co. Happy Memorial Day weekend! ❤️🙏🇺🇸
Thanks for another great video! Keep us posted on the heat situation?
Will do. We haven’t been too worried about it since we don’t use it much, but I did talk to Elwell and do know I was correct about it being the gasket. The technician said they just simply replace that part of the unit and not the gaskets.
I love a good ghost story. Thanks for another fun and informative show.
Happy belated Birthday, Young Lady. I Hope You Have a Better Day, Boscawen,NH
Another great video. Love the 2013 photo!
Wanted to say hi.you do such an awesome job on your videos an your voice is Perfect on how u tell about the histories of places.thank you so much !! Safe travels.
So glad you enjoy them, thank you so much! 🧡
Brian, Harbor Freight has a mechanics pad for $25 that’s very handy for traveling. It fits between our rear bed and door- I store it upright on the drivers side so when opening the passenger rear door I move it if needed. For some reason the link wouldn’t copy. Works great in our Galleria, super padded and compact. Saves my old back!
First time watching your channel and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the calmness and not too much talking. Music at the end was annoying but I’ll watch the next video.
I think that was the longest walk to breakfast ever 😂 I’d like to go to the hot springs 😁 safe travels!!
😂 No kidding!! Unless of course you’re in Vegas. 😉
If I remember right, Doc Holliday is buried there. Hanging lake is a nice hike to take also. Love the scenery in that area along the river. We always see rafters and trains. Have a great holiday weekend! 🤓🥸😎
We were wanting to stop at the Doc Holiday gravesite but timing didn’t work out for us. We seen that the road exit to Hanging Lake was closed as we drove east. We’ll definitely have to stop on our next trip through.
I lived in Grand Junction several years ago. . Love Colorado.
Happy Birthday Michelle. It looked like a nice place to spend your birthday. 🎂🏩
“that’s good,” so funny!!!
It was! 😂
My first time of learning how to snow ski was there in Glenwood springs. Awesome video!!!
Happy Birthday 🎉🎊🎂
I don't know if you made it into the Target in Glenwood but that's where I work.
By the way, if you look at the pool at the Glenwood Hot Springs it's shaped like a coffin because the designer in the 80s lost his wife while designing the new pool.
PS the hotel has new owners and it's been remodeled.
PPS it was a maid at the hotel that gave Theodore Roosevelt a small stuffed bear to remember them by and it became the first "teddy bear".
I actually live in Carbondale but I love our Glenwood Springs it is a beautiful city.
My girls and I are from Aspen Colorado.
We did not make to the Target. Very interesting, thanks for sharing! 🧡😊🤓
❤😂❤😂 Happy Birthday.
I watched your video about leaving Door County WI and heading to Duluth. Next time you're in that area you should look up The Apostle Islands, near Bayfield WI. Twenty one Islands with stunning beaches, sandstone formations, and sea caves, which are excellent for exploring; kayak in summer, on foot during the winter. You'll love it .
I found you! I have always enjoyed your videos. Now I can subscribe again. Thank you so much for your videos 🙂
Hooray! Grand Junction!!!! I grew up there! Love Colorado! My ‘home’ state! What a wonderful video. Touched my heart with Glenwood Springs. I’ve been in that pool many times. Does it still storm there at 3pm? We always had to get out of the pool because of lightning , thunder and rain. This was in the 1950-1960’s. I’ve also camped at Grizzly creek area. So many memories!!!
I would find it interesting to stay in a haunted hotel but then I am intrigued with ghosts!
I love traveling with you guys. 😊❤
Very nice, I would definitely have to visit that hotel. Love to visit hot springs they look amazing
My wife and I have hiked to Hanging Lake. Fairly strenuous hike for us. I understand it is now timed reservations to do it.
Hey Brian and Michele! It sure is pretty there! Glad y’all are having a great time! Stay safe! Booooo!
Hey Randy! It sure is!
😱😂
I used to own the old Brown Hotel building in Springer, New Mexico (I opened an art gallery there), and I experienced a a few weird unexplainable things with weird lights, red dog eyes, and voices. I wasn't scared though for some reason.
Yikes!😳
I use a small wash tub to catch that water until it’s hot. Then water a bush. It’s just water. That way we don’t fill our tank when we don’t have full hookups. 🤷🏼♀️
We have done the same when we are in an appropriate area, just not always.
I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks! I do, I do, I do believe in spooks! 🤭
Can you tell I love the Wizard of Oz!
BTW...How much editing did you have to do when you told Michelle y'all were staying at the haunted hotel? 😅😂
😂 🧡😊🤓
I laughed when you said "Get your swimsuit ready baby! Hiiii! " too good! Great video!
😬😉
I wouldn't want to stay there again either...food and pie looked good..❤
Love all your videos, we are just excited waiting for you to upload every-week. In this video you mentioned about places that you can shower while traveling m, can you please with us? we owe a 19’ Solis, it has a very small bathroom therefore we barely use the shower. Thank you so much in advance. We hope you both are a fun memorial weekend.
We’re both so happy to know you enjoy them. 🧡😊🤓
We have discussed this a few previous videos but don’t recall the exact videos to recommend. We usually utilize campgrounds mostly but if we are traveling, we have found truck stops to be the most convenient options and they are very spacious and cleaned after every shower and we can both utilize one room for the same price. In most cases, they are cleaner than a campground or RV resort. We tried the Planet Fitness but it just hasn’t been very convenient for us and not very private either. Those are the main places though.
Thank you so much for a quick reply. That information is very helpful to us.
Hanging Lake miraculously survived the fire that surrounded it a couple of years ago. Surprised you didn't show any of the burnt trees in the canyon.
Because we were driving though and didn’t go there. We also seen that the exit was closed for hanging lake when we went through.
@@LivinRVision I understand not going to hanging lake. It's reservation only and quite a hike but I'm surprised you didn't film the burnt trees in the Glenwood Canyon. It hopped the road at Grizzly creek and burned both sides of the Glenwood Canyon. For 2 years they would close the canyon whenever rain was expected because of so much mud, rock and debris. Just now the canyon is greening up. Google Grizzly Creek fire, 8/10/20. The Pullman Restaurant does have some of the best food.
@barbforrest6026 not sure why it would of been so important to film that? We worked the majority of our time there and it wasn’t really part of our intentions there.
I like your music.
Thank you for showing as much as possible the problem you encountered really interesting for some of us how hard things are to fix, and how often they break. Curiosity question, considering you don’t use shower very often, have you guys thought about trying to live in Lusso. I actually love the concept, but the second row seating facing backwards is a dealbreaker for me. Just curious if you had thought about trying it out or if the limited storage was just too restricting. Thanks.
Thought about it in a different way of living, but not sure it is feasible for others with the price point.
@@LivinRVision I would love to see if it would work for you guys. 😊
We stayed in the Colorado a couple of years ago and was disappointed we DIDN'T see or hear a ghost. Walking down the huge corridors at night with the window sheers blowing in the wind was a bit unnerving though.
We love this area, live in Boulder and want to drive up for a few days (usually it’s a long one day trip to use the springs). Where did you stay? It seemed nice and clean with a breakfast no less.
Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge, mentioned and shown as we were arriving. It was a nice place to stay. 🧡
@@LivinRVision I swear we didn’t hear or see that, sometimes the ad cut in exactly at the wrong time 😀 Thanks
I've never been to a Hot Springs, there is something about chlorine that keeps me in pools lol. I'd be interested to know on what scale the hotel is on as far as scary!
you got your pie
😂 🤓
the pie makes your wife happy wife happy life
Thanks for the info on Glenwood Springs, but what happened with the glycol leak?
We had just found the leak so nothing happened yet. As we mentioned, we don’t use the hot water often and now we are not in need of the heat for a while, especially with the heat pump of the AC unit, so we will just wait to have it fixed when it is convenient. Doesn’t affect us whatsoever right now. 👍🏻😊🤓
Just getting to the video a little late and oh my Michelle you cut your hair. No ponytails for you. Hope you can get the van fixed soon and without a lot of difficulty. Michelle you need to come to southern Louisiana we have one of the most haunted houses in the country. Oh and you can spend the night there. Oh my goodness you did look so young in that picture, I mean you still look young now. That looks like a very big hotel.
You might have a high altitude setting on your glycol system?
The system is programmed to efficiently manage energy using the Autoterm Binar Compact Heater, which is optimized for seamless use whether you’re traveling in high altitudes or at sea levels.
This was a failed gasket.
i have not seen a pie for awhile
Really? 🤔🤓
I didn’t know that the hotel Colorado was haunted
Did you figure out the issue with the leaking heater? I have seen a few people that have had a similar issue and would be good to know what to look at. Thanks
We had just found the issue during this video, so too soon to show any fixes/repairs/replacements but it sounds like a very simple fix after talking to Elwell/Timberline where they just replace that unit down below. I was correct that it was a leaking gasket. It’s not a rush for us to get replaced and we have notified Grech. The Timberline system is a very good system and probably the best if not one of the very best heater systems available. Things do happen now and then with everything.
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess you must publish your videos pretty quick then. Some people post them a few months out.
We are loving our new Grech Stada and can’t wait to see where we end up! Hoping Alaska next summer.
@DanCassidyJK about 2 -3 weeks out, but we usually try not to give away anything of an upcoming video either. Many times we put the dates in the videos, but not always (for various reasons).
Did you say anything about Doc Holiday dying in the haunted hotel? He died in that hotel in 1887 in one of the rooms.
I believe he died in Hotel Glenwood in Glenwood Springs, not Hotel Colorado. His grave is nearby though but we never got a chance to get over there.
Yes you are right @LivinRVision
Have you hiked up to Doc Holiday and Kid Curry's graves?
We wanted to but didn’t get a chance to. A few things in that area we want to do next time. 👍🏻😊🤓
