Best Hot Springs in Colorado - part 1
Beautiful scenic Colorado, with its majestic mountain ranges is an outdoor paradise
. Among the rocks and mountains are thermal hot springs that have been enjoyed for centuries. The Native American Indians discovered the benefits of the steamy Natural Hot Springs in Colorado mineral waters many years ago. Because of their healing powers, ancient dwellers often considered natural springs sacred. The mineral springs are recognized for their ability to heal a wide variety of medical conditions, including skin afflictions, infections, bruises, respiratory disorders, tuberculosis, indigestion, and arthritis. To understand the hidden powers of Colorado's springs, scientists have examined the dissolved solid content of natural spring water to isolate the active ingredients. The studies indicated that many natural springs absorb minerals from the ground including carbonic acid, which accounts for the bubbles seen in spring water. Elements found in abundance in Colorados natural springs include sulfur, salts, calcium, phosphorus, lithium, silica, radium, and magnesium. There are some historic pools in Colorado, which offer health benefits. Each of these pools have accommodations ranging from simple motel rooms to splendid modern cabins with full kitchen and bathroom. Some of the accommodations are rustic and casual while others are more luxurious. All accommodations include a Hot springs Soaking Pools pass. There are many cabins and rooms which do not have any phones or televisions. This is often a shock to the teenagers. I bet youve guessed it already -the emphasis is on nature and the healing power of the natural minerals and the waters. Today people travel to the hot mineral springs in Colorado for rejuvenation and restoration. If you have never been to a natural, outdoor hot springs you should experience it. In the winter the steam rises up in the cold air. Even if there is snow on the ground, you can enjoy the outdoor beauty surrounding you (in most cases it is mountain canyon) while enjoying the warmth of the natural springs baths. My favorite time is the spring evenings when the air is getting cold. You begin to see stars in the darkened sky right after sunset, and to hear the birds singing. Ive experienced it many times in Dakota Hot Springs, but that is because this pool is the closest to Colorado Springs and I like to come there after a busy day at work. At an altitude of 5,200 feet, Dakota Hot Springs is situated in a valley surrounded by Sangre De Christo and the Rocky Mountains.
Within a two-hour drive from Colorado Springs, residents and visitors can visit an abundance of natural springs. One of the best places for skiers and snowboarders from Monarch is just a half an hour away in Mountain Princeton Hot Springs. This place offers not only 100 degree soaking and 90 degree lap pools, but also a natural steam room as well as babbling creekside hot soaking tubs. The famous western honeymoon destination along the banks of the Colorado River is Glenwood Hot Springs Resort. It is the biggest in the world. The outdoor pool is 405 feet long and 100 feet wide. It holds 1,071,000 gallons of water. The big pool is always kept at a comfortable 90-93 degree and the therapy pool averages about 104 degree. Glenwood also offers hot vapor Yampah caves and thermal spas. Yampah in Ute Indian language means big medicine. The source for the Hot Springs is south of Colorado River in the Lookout Mountain and Grand Hogback areas. The water percolates through fractures in the bedrock formation into the aquifer. The hot springs soothe the spirit, relax the body and just generally make you feel better. Hope you can come and enjoy Colorado Hot Springs soon. I promise you won't regret it!
