Buena Vista, Colorado
In case you are unfamiliar, Buena Vista means ‘beautiful view’ in Spanish. And the name truly says it all. Resting at roughly 8,000 feet elevation, the town of Buena Vista Colorado is nestled between the majestic Continental Divide to the West and the Fourmile Recreation Area foothills to the East, with the impressive Arkansas River running through town.
Salida, Colorado
Salida Colorado is a REAL Colorado mountain town. Beautifully nestled between the Sangre de Cristo and Sawatch Mountain ranges, this central Colorado Historic downtown at 7,000 feet elevation boasts a liveliness driven by artistic minds and outdoor enthusiasts.
Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort is one of the most unique settings of all the hot springs in Colorado. Sit in the source of the hot springs in Chalk Creek and create your own hot springs pool. Ride the 400-foot water slide while surrounded by the 14,000 foot peaks on either side of the resort. The Spa & Club offers an adults-only experience with a relaxation pool and three Japanese-style cascading pools. Hot springs ore included with your overnight stay; purchase a spa treatment and enjoy all the hot springs amenities all day. (Located in Nathrop between Buena Vista & Salida)
Pure geothermal mineral waters flow into five large, rack-lined soaking pools ranging from 94 to 110 degrees at Cottonwood Hot Springs. The quiet, meditative environment may be similar to that experienced by the native Utes, who regarded the hot springs as spiritual sites with healing waters. Massage therapy, spa services and lodging available. (5 miles west of Buena Vista on Cottonwood Pass)
The Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center is fun for the whole family. A zero-depth-entry play pool of 97 to 100 degrees borders one end of the largest indoor hot springs pool in North America. The opposite end features a 6-lane, 25-meter lap pool and diving area around 85 degrees. You can also reserve a private soaking pool and customize the water depth and temperature.
