COME TO LIFE Rocky Mountain Hot Springs No Two the Same While all Colorado hot springs offer the comfort of warm, soothing pools, their similarities end there. These rejuvenating spots vary from luxurious spa escapes to rugged, natural springs, offering a perfect option for every type of traveler seeking a relaxing respite during an adventure-filled vacation. Luxurious Spa Day Sometimes, an ideal hot-springs getaway means waking up slowly, sitting in geothermal waters and sipping smoothies as you wait for your massage reservation. At Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort near Salida, this level of tranquility is easy to achieve. In the evening, dip into several spots alongside the flowing Chalk Creek and stare up at the twinkling stars, listening to the water trickle past for the ultimate laid-back experience. Meanwhile, at Dunton Hot Springs near Telluride, elegance blends with whimsy and peaceful seclusion as you sink into a steaming natural tub steps away from your restored cabin, many hand built in the 1800s. The site was once an old mining camp, but now hosts luxurious lodging within the ghost town’s authentic homes, stores and barns. The toasty springs — some reserved exclusively for your little chalet — are just one piece of the all-inclusive experience, best combined with fine dining, custom massages and day trips exploring the aspen-lined trails. 84 1-800-COLORADO
