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, creating the perfect reset for every type of traveler seeking a relaxing respite during an adventure-filled vacation. Breathtaking Views If gorgeous scenery is your primary criterion, several hot springs offer views as captivating as the baths themselves. Avalanche Ranch in Redstone is a hidden gem tucked in the Crystal River Valley, where red-rock cliffs rise above emerald pastures and grazing alpacas. Three tiered soaking pools crafted from stone look out onto Mount Sopris and the Elk Mountains. A stay in one of the property’s vintage cabins or wagons means you’ll wake up just steps from the springs, making it easy to catch the glow of sunrise on the surrounding summits. Spy on ancient peaks and sun-scorched desert plains dotted with sagebrush at Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa in Moffat. Nestled at the northern edge of the Mystic San Luis Valley, the resort’s tiled pools invite hours of indulgent soaking at varying temperatures. And as you steep, you can treat your eyes to the stunning scenery of the Sangre de Cristo range, where fiery sunsets paint the sky and cast a golden glow over the valley landscape. 76 1-800-COLORADO
