Whether you find yourself at a commercial hot springs resort or in the wilderness soaking, hot springs have many different benefits. The higher temperature of the water contains more dissolved minerals that can be absorbed through the skin and benefits the body in many ways. Many people claim that the hot springs can assist with allergies, respiratory problems, joint pain, and other ailments. Along with health benefits, they are a great spot to relax and they also promote sleep. Colorado offers hot springs all across the state. Some are commercially owned and contained similarly to swimming pools, while others are hidden in nature and are more secluded.  

Definitely a class 5 rapid!

If your plan is to rent a raft with us on the Colorado River, make sure you hit Radium Hot Springs. It is a natural area on the side of the river where many people pull over to take a dip. The hot springs mix with the river water creating a comfortable and relaxing temperature. If you are looking for something that provides more amenities and spa services, Hot Sulphur Springs Resort is only twenty minutes from Kremmling. They have 21 mineral pools, so there will be a comfortable temperature for everyone in your group.  

 After a day of rafting on the Arkansas River out of our Granite outpost, take a trip down to Mount Princeton Hot Springs. Right next to Chalk Creek, there are side pools along the river that are naturally heated. You can move a few stones to let the cold water from the river flow in and cool you off. If you are looking for a bigger adventure with a rewarding ending, take a hike up to Conundrum Hot Springs. Not for the faint of heart, this 17 mile round trip hike will show you many things that Colorado has to offer. Great views, wildlife, and, of course, the hot springs at the end of the trail. There is one natural large pool and one smaller pool. Clothing is optional and many crowd members will be lively. If you are in the area for one of our great rafting trips, make sure to stop by for a soak.
