Where can I find Colorado hot springs?
With nearly 100 thermal hot springs in Colorado, it won't be difficult to find one near you. Here are a few places where you can find Colorado hot springs on your next trip to this gorgeous mountain state:
- Iron Mountain Hot Springs, Glenwood Springs, CO: With 16 geothermal pools this epic hot springs resort along the Colorado River is one of the best places to enjoy a warm dip in earth-warmed water. It is perfect for everyone from families to couples, with certain pools dedicated to those who want a little privacy or those looking for a swimming pool experience - with a geothermal twist. You'll enjoy gorgeous mountain views or kayakers traversing the Colorado River all while staying nice and toasty in a man-made pool filled with natural spring water.
- Pagosa Hot Springs, Pagosa, CO: Those in Pagosa can boast they have the world's deepest geothermal hot spring, but when you slip into the 100-degree water all cares slip away and the only thing you are focused on is your stress melting away. You wouldn't be the first to feel that way either. The first Native Americans in the area also used these healing pools to soak away troubling illnesses. With 23 pools at the Pagosa Hot Springs resort you'll certainly find a beautiful spot to soothe all that ails you.
- Orvis Hot Springs, Ridgway, CO: Way back in the 1800s the Tabeguache band of the Ute Indians used these pools for healing purposes. Today, we can get the same thermal benefits when we soak in 65 to 112-degree water laced with natural minerals. Parts of Orvis are clothing optional so you can enjoy nature to the fullest if you so choose. There are both indoor and outdoor pools available.
