Nearby springs
Strawberry Park Hot Springs
Rustic stone-lined pools in a forested valley about 7 miles from downtown Steamboat Springs, reached by a partly unpaved road that requires 4WD and winter tires from November through April. Visits are booked in 2-hour slots and paid in cash. Pools are clothing-optional and limited to adults after dark.
Radium Warm Springs
A warm spring pool above the Upper Colorado River near the hamlet of Radium, southwest of Kremmling. The BLM directs visitors to a trailhead at the end of Warm Springs Road, because the old social trail from the CPW Mugrage site is closed to protect bighorn sheep habitat. A fee campground and river access are nearby at the Radium Recreation Area.
Hot Sulphur Springs Resort & Spa
A long-running hillside resort in the town of Hot Sulphur Springs with about 19 public mineral pools between 98 and 112°F. Day passes are walk-in only, and some pools are restricted to ages 12 and up. The property also has a motel, private baths, massage and a grill.
