Hot-Springs Experiences
Durango Hot Springs has been enjoyed by folks seeking out the benefits of natural mineral-water hot springs for millenia. Its history dates back to A.D. 1000–1200 when Ancestral Puebloans lived in the region, eventually followed by the Ute people.
Today, the waters are still renowned for their soothing nature and healing energy. Experience that for yourself in one of the nearly three dozen pools — 11 of which are accessible for people with disabilities. Settle into the warmth, lean back and soak up vistas of the jagged San Juan Mountains as soft breezes rustle the needles of nearby ponderosa pines. Sunset is especially enchanting, as warm, sherbet-colored skies ruffled with clouds are reflected in the surface of the springs.
Temps: Hot, Cold & Just Right
Make your way from pool to pool until you find the one with vistas and temperatures to best meet your desires. The waters range from 99 to 112 degrees, meaning you’re sure to find an option to keep you feeling loose as you submerge yourself in serenity and self-pampering. Give your system a delightful shock as you hop from hot spring to cold plunge, or book a private soak in a Japanese-inspired cedar tub so you can adjust the heat to your liking.
Whether you’re looking to spend time relishing the waters with your partner or want to treat the whole family, Durango Hot Springs is the perfect destination when relaxation is top of mind. Nineteen kid-friendly pools make it easy to find a soaking spot your entire crew can enjoy, and there’s a 25-meter resort-style swimming pool you can make a splash in, too. This area is set off from the 13 adults-only pools, so you’ll also find an abundance of solitude — perfect for immersing yourself in the sounds of lapping waters as you watch the sun make its way over the mountains.
Healing Nature & Water Properties
It’s no secret that people seek out hot springs for the healing properties they’re associated with. Durango Hot Springs’ pools boast 32 minerals, including those with reputations for being restorative powerhouses, such as lithium, magnesium and potassium. There’s even trace amounts of silver in there! What you won’t find is sulfur, which is known for its pungent odor. Nope … you’ll step out of these soaks smelling nothing but evergreens and mountain air.
Tip: Explore nearby Silverton on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad to learn about the area’s silver-mining history.
Additionally, the Durango Hot Springs waters are the first in the world to be enhanced by an AquaGen system. This infuses each pool with trillions of microscopic oxygen bubbles. Since oxygen can pass through skin, these bubbles may help speed up some of the body’s natural repair processes, leaving you feeling revitalized. They’re likely part of the reason folks have called their first visits to the property “rare” and “exceptional.”
