Known for some of the best hot springs facilities in the nation, Pagosa Springs boasts 3 unique hot springs facilities that can soothe away your stress and rejuvinate your soul after a full day of playing in the snow!

Hotel guests of the resort enjoy 24-hour unlimited access to the soaking pools. Non-resort guests can pay a daily pass fee to enjoy the benefits of the hot springs. The full-service day spa offers a complete and comprehensive line of skin, hair and body treatments which are perfect compliments to the therapeutic properties of the hot mineral waters.

The resort has just opened a new 29-room luxury suites hotel. The suites are luxuriously appointed and range in size from one-bedroom suites up to a 1000 square foot three-bedroom suite. The “green-built” building is constructed to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold standards. It’s the first hotel in Colorado built to the LEED standards and one of only five in the country built to LEED Gold standards. Like the rest of the property, the new hotel is heated naturally using the hot geo-thermal water from the great hot spring onsite. For more information, visit www.pagosahotsprings.com.

This 1874 National Archive photo shows The Great Pagosa Hot Spring before any development.

Certainly different now and more colorful!!!     The big mineral mound, shown below, began as this stone fountain in the 1950’s. There was a trough on the first level for people to dip a cup in for drinking the water. Caution, the mineral water can be a strong laxative. This is an old postcard showing the mound developing but not as large as today. The postcard is dated “after 1963” and captioned: “Colorful Mineral Deposits are natural scenic attractions in Pagosa Springs. Deposits are formed from Mineral Springs whose healing properties were known and used by Indian tribes long before any white civilization.” The current mound. The building in the background is the same as shown in the first photo above, the exact perspective cannot be photographed because of landscaping.  Healing Hot Springs Mineral Pool & Hot TubsAhh, let your worries wash away as you slip into our warm, healing waters… From eliminating stress to health benefits we all can use, our mineral waters are something to be enjoyed with a sigh of relief.
