Posted October 7, 2023 Hey y'all...wondering if you have any good recommendations for hot springs, preferably within 1-2 hours of Denver, but open to others. I love to visit them wherever I go! So far the one I've heard of the most over there is Indian Springs, but open to other recommendations too! Also looking for hiking recommendations within an hour or so of Denver. If it was just me I'd be looking for more strenuous hikes but I'll be with a friend so probably more moderate recommendations (maybe with a view??) would be amazing! Tell me your favorite spots! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 8, 2023 Check out Mount Princeton Hot Springs. I've loved that place for years! A good hiking spot for someone less experienced would be Roxborough State Park, great scenery, nothing too technically. A fun day. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 9, 2023 It's more that 2 hours, but Steamboat springs has a few nearby. The most famous is Strawberry, where clothing is optional after dark. https://strawberryhotsprings.com 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Pagosa Springs and Durango as well as Steamboat those are the ones I have enjoyed in CO. Back long ago growing up when Strawberry park was unofficial I remember going up there with my family. Fun memories for sure growing up! 😊 Edited October 11, 2023 by Kali Sensual Reiki 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 11, 2023 Rocky Mountain National Park near Estes Park has some excellent hiking trails. Both easy and challenging. Also: https://www.alltrails.com/us/colorado 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 25, 2023 There are hot springs in Idaho Springs as well. It’s only about 45 minutes out of Denver. It’s amazing how you feel the next day. The hot springs really do heal. Enjoy your stay. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
