After a long day of adventures, there’s no better way to end your day than soaking in natural hot springs. Orvis Hot Springs is located just one mile south of Ridgway and offers seven soaking areas, a sauna and natural landscaping to give you the ultimate relaxation experience. Four soaking areas are outside where you can enjoy the gorgeous Colorado sun and the star filled evening sky. Plus, an indoor pool and two private tubs are great for getting out of the sun or inclement weather. Orvis Hot Springs' natural lithium water will allow you to rest, relax and feel rejuvenated when you leave. Water temperatures ranging from 90 degrees F to 112 degrees F and a blanket of stars fill the sky above. Clothing optional.

Also, just a short drive from Ridgway, you can soak in the world-famous Ouray Hot Springs Pool, the Wiesbaden Hot Springs Spa and Cave, and other pool and hot tub locations in Ouray. After almost a century of use, the Ouray Hot Springs Pool underwent a multi-million dollar renovation and reopened in May. While the historic oval shape remains, every other feature of the pool got a complete overhaul, from the leaky infrastructure to new soaking pools, waterfalls, lap lanes and a climbing and diving platform.
