Hot Sulphur Springs in Colorado is a public hot spring resort with natural thermal water. It is open today and has 19 pools, with water ranging from 98°F to 112°F.

Also known as Historical Hot Sulphur Springs Resort & Spa, the resort has hot mineral pools for day visitors. Its pool range and number of pools give visitors options within one property, while the day-pass setup makes it suited to a visit without a required reservation.

Pools and water at Hot Sulphur Springs

The 19 pools use naturally gravity-fed water. There are no filters or pumps on site, a detail worth knowing when choosing a soak at this naturally supplied pool complex.

Water temperatures run from 98°F to 112°F. With pools spanning that range, visitors can select a pool based on the temperature that feels right for their visit.

Getting to Hot Sulphur Springs

The resort is in Hot Sulphur Springs, CO. Boulder is 45 miles away, which provides a useful reference point for visitors planning travel from that city.

Other hot springs in the area include Strawberry Park Hot Springs, 51 miles away, plus Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and Iron Mountain Hot Springs, both 74 miles away. Penny Hot Springs is 83 miles away, and Charlotte Hot Springs & Botanical Gardens is 88 miles away.

Admission and hours

Adult day passes for ages 12 and up cost $30.00 Mon-Thurs and $35.00 Fri-Sun. Reservations are not required, so visitors can plan around the applicable day-pass rate.

Hours are 8 AM to 9:45 PM, with last entry at 9:15 PM. Arrive before that final-entry time to allow access to the pools.

Family and stay options at the resort

Eight pools are for children under 12, while 16 pools are restricted to people 12 and older. Families should keep those pool age limits in mind while deciding which areas of the property fit their group.

On-site lodging is available, but camping is not. The property's motel was established in 1943, and motel stays include pool day passes, making an overnight stay an option for guests who want pool access included with their lodging.

Plan your Hot Sulphur Springs visit

A swimsuit is required, and pets are not allowed. Pack swimwear before arriving, and make other arrangements for dogs or other pets.

Facilities include newly renovated locker rooms, showers, changing areas, coin-operated lockers, towel rentals, robe rentals, a restaurant, and a designated picnic area. Those options support both a shorter pool visit and a longer day at the resort.

Lightning within five miles closes all pools and showers until it passes. Keep that weather closure policy in mind when planning time in the water or using the shower facilities.
