Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is one of the most unique settings of all the hot springs in Colo­rado. Sit in the source of the hot springs in Chalk Creek and create your own hot springs pool. Ride the 400-foot water slide while surrounded by the 14,000 foot peaks on either side of the resort. The Spa & Club offers an adults-only experience with a relaxation pool and three Japanese-style cas­cading pools. Hot springs ore included with your overnight stay; purchase a spa treatment and

enjoy all the hot springs amenities all day. (Located in Nathrop between Buena Vista & Salida)

Pure geothermal mineral waters flow into five large, rack-lined soaking pools ranging from 94 to 110 degrees at Cottonwood Hot Springs. The quiet, meditative environment may be similar to that expe­rienced by the native Utes, who regarded the hot springs as spiritual sites with healing waters. Mas­sage therapy, spa services and lodging available. (5 miles west of Buena Vista on Cottonwood Pass)

The Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center is fun for the whole family. A zero-depth-entry play pool of 97 to 100 degrees borders one end of the largest indoor hot springs pool in North America. The opposite end

features a 6-lane, 25-meter lap pool and diving area around 85 degrees. You can also reserve a pri­vate soaking pool and customize the water depth and temperature. (In Salida on US Hwy. SO)
