A wonderful day experience - relax in multiple different odorless hot springs which bubble out of the ground at 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Kid friendly!
Hours: 8 am – 12 am daily | Entrance: $20, adults, $18 under 16 Cottonwood Hot Springs features five soaking pools, ranging in temperature from 80-104°. It’s one of the many hot springs across Colorado and is cheaper and often less crowded than nearby Mt. Princeton hot springs. It’s also much simpler with fewer features, but it’s a great place to soak after a day in the cold outdoors or a day hiking! A must experience to those new to CO.
