As the snow slips off the peaks and wildflowers start poking up through the earth, springtime in Edwards, Colorado is perfectly poised to refresh your mind, body, and head-to-toe self—and there’s no better place to press reset than The Inn at Riverwalk. With a home base nestled along the banks of the Eagle River, you’ll find a refreshing mix of nature, comfort, and local charm. Here’s how to create your own wellness retreat in Edwards this spring, with just the right blend of outdoor adventure, cozy comforts, and soul-fueling experiences.
Farm-to-Table Nourishment
Wellness starts on the plate, with food that’s fresh, local, and a little bit fun. Start your morning with a stroll through the Edwards Corner Farmers Market (June 14th – September 20th), where you’ll find seasonal produce, crusty breads, wildflower honey, and small-batch treats made by Colorado’s finest artisans.
Snag a condo with a full kitchen and transform your market haul into a rustic, riverside feast. Think slow-roasted veggies, herbed mountain trout, and maybe a little peach cobbler—best enjoyed on your balcony with the river humming below.Or if “retreat” means no dishes, head to one of Edward’s many farm-to-table restaurants just steps from The Inn at Riverwalk. Drunken Goat is a guest favorite for cheese boards and local wine pairings, or let the masters at Hovey and Harrison cook up something seasonal and savory.
Hit the Trail to Clear Your Head
There’s nothing like a mountain hike to clear the mental clutter. This time of year, the air is crisp but warming, and the streams are crystal clear and roaring. The trails around Edwards offer plenty of options, from gentle riverside walks to more heart-pumping climbs.
You’ll love the Eagle River Preserve for its quiet beauty and massive boulders that invite you to soak in the sun. Or head up to Berry Creek Trail if you’re craving a scenic workout. Bring a journal, your favorite podcast, or simply your breath—this is nature therapy at its finest.
Feed Your Soul with the Arts
Balance all that outdoor energy with a dose of culture at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in nearby Beaver Creek. This intimate alpine venue offers everything from ballet and jazz to big-name concerts and comedy.It’s the kind of place where you can dress up (or not) and let the creativity on stage lift you into another world. Keep an eye on the event calendar—spring often brings a lineup worth planning your whole weekend around.
From Nature to the Studio
While the trails might be all the gym you need, sometimes it’s nice to hand over the reins and let someone else lead the way. If you prefer group energy or a little extra push, Edwards is home to a variety of top-notch fitness studios.
Stretch it out at Revival Vail Valley, where classes range from grounding slow flows to energizing Vinyasa just minutes from The Inn at Riverwalk. Or bike over to Revolution Power Yoga in nearby Avon, a longtime valley favorite known for empowering, sweat-worthy sessions that leave you glowing. Craving something more intense? Get your heart rate up at Dogma Athletica or GOAT Training, where functional fitness meets hardcore mountain grit. Whether it’s yoga, HIIT, or heavy lifting, there’s a class (and a coach) to meet you where you’re at.
Soak + Stargaze
Extend the evening and let the outdoor hot tub behind The Inn at Riverwalk become your front-row seat to the night sky. It’s a guest-favorite year-round, but spring brings something extra: cool mountain air, quiet nights, and a sky full of constellations.
Sip some tea (or champagne), settle into the warm water, and let the mountain magic do the rest.
Speaking of Rest…
Sometimes, wellness is as simple as staying in bed to relish deep, delicious sleep. The Inn at Riverwalk will set you up with plush pillow-top mattresses, blackout curtains, and ultra-soft linens—a prescription for rejuvenation.
A wellness retreat in Edwards comes with a full recharge. Make sure you secure the kind of rest that sticks with you long after you’ve checked out. Sleep in. Take a nap. Lounge in a robe. Your sanctuary, your rules.
Set Your Own Pace
No two retreats look alike, and that’s the beauty of it. At The Inn at Riverwalk, your spring escape is whatever you want it to be: a quiet weekend of hiking and hot tubbing. A full itinerary of farm-to-table eats and local performances. Or maybe just a few days with no agenda and a very good book.
It’s not hard to find your rhythm here. Just be sure to squeeze in at least one morning on your balcony, wrapped in a robe and completely unrushed. No schedule, no noise—just the sound of water moving and birds stitching their songs into the day. Ready to reconnect, restore, and breathe a little deeper? Start crafting your wellness retreat in Edwards and let the mountains take it from there. Book your stay.
