Insider tip — Joyful Journeys Hot Springs occupies a remote valley in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, drawing iron-rich geothermal water from the volcanic fields at the edge of the Rio Grande Rift. The distinctive amber-colored water carries a high iron content visible in the russet staining around the pool edges. At 7,500 feet elevation amid the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, the star gazing from outdoor pools on clear nights is extraordinary. The clothing-optional soaking tradition and bohemian atmosphere attract a diverse community of wellness seekers from across the Rocky Mountain region.
