Relax & Rejuvenate at World-Famous Hot Springs

Known for our sunny skies and healing waters, the Ridgway area is the perfect destination for revitalizing your body and soul. 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.

With seven soaking areas (four outside and three inside), a sauna and natural landscaping, Orvis Hot Springs in Ridgway offers a variety of experiences for the avid soaker. The waters in the clothingoptional hot springs have seven main naturally-occurring minerals with various health benefits. The waters, ranging from 90 degrees to 112 degrees Fahrenheit, are highly sought after for their lithium content and its soothing, stress-melting effects.

In operation since 1927, the Ouray Hot Springs Pool provides relaxation, family fun and amazing views of the surrounding peaks and dramatic sunsets and starry skies. A multimillion-dollar renovation project, completed in 2018, expanded soaking pools, play areas and accessibility for all users. All pools offer sulfur-free mineral water, and range from 96 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit.

You can also find more secluded and private soaking at hot springs in area hotels. Most can be accessed with or without an overnight stay.
