Hot Springs Adventures, in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, gives access to iron-rich thermal water close to 38°C. The site is enjoyed via an open-air pool or wild bathing, in an area well known for its natural springs.
Insider tip — Hot Springs Adventures operates guided soaks in the Steamboat Springs area of northwestern Colorado, where dozens of geothermal seeps dot the Yampa River valley. The iron-rich waters are a hallmark of this volcanic geology, and the area has attracted visitors since the 1880s. Winter visits offer the classic contrast of steam rising against snow-capped Flat Tops wilderness views.
