Known for our sunny skies and healing waters, Ouray and Ridgway are the perfect destinations for revitalizing your body and soul. After a long day of adventures, there’s no better way to end your day than soaking in natural hot springs.
Throughout the year, you can soak in the area's hot springs – a centuries-old tradition. Nothing tops off a winter day like a soak in our sulfur-free hot springs, some shopping downtown, a warm meal and drink at one of our cozy restaurants, and a soft bed to fall into.
Soaking in hot springs has many health benefits*:
- naturally detoxes your skin
- helps you sleep more soundly and have lower levels of stress
- improve general health and happiness
- induces healthy blood circulation
- supports healthy heart activity
- reduces pain
- mitigates conditions such as joint pain, arthritis, and fybromyalgia
Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop
If you have more than a few days to travel, be sure to stop and soak in our partner destinations along the Colorado Historic Hot Springs Loop. The Loop includes the communities of Pagosa Springs, Ouray County (Ridgway and Ouray), Glenwood Springs, Steamboat Springs, and Chaffee County (Buena Vista, Nathrop and Salida). Each destination is about a three-hour drive from the next and makes for a perfect multi-day getaway in Colorado.
