Dakota Hot Springs Colorado is a natural mineral hot spring facility located in Penrose, in Fremont County, Colorado, at the southern edge of the Arkansas River valley between Pueblo and the Royal Gorge — one of America's most dramatic river canyons, where the Arkansas River cuts 300 metres through Precambrian granite in a gorge so narrow that the famous suspension bridge crossing it hovers just above the rushing water below. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerge from the Precambrian basement geology of the Front Range foothills, drawing geothermal heat from the deep Rocky Mountain rock mass, and are appreciated for their soft, pH-balanced mineral bathing, propitious to relaxation and to the comfort of the skin in the dry Colorado climate. The facility's open-air setting under the big Colorado sky, framed by the volcanic mesas and red rock formations of the Wet Mountains foothills, offers an authentic and unpretentious geothermal bathing experience in the less-touristed canyon country of southern Colorado.

Insider tip — At Dakota Hot Springs Colorado, the water at 50°C helps promote digestion and soften the skin in a natural American setting.
