Rec hot springs in CO

I've always wanted to go to a hot springs, and Colorado isn't that far from us. We will have DD with us, who is 10.5 year old.

Strawberry Hot Springs is really nice. The one in Glenwood is more a large commercial design (like a large pool), but Strawberry is more a natural habitat. Oh, in steamboat there is also another more pool like one so going there might be a good choice because you have both options.

Another vote for Strawberry Park outside Steamboat. Would recommend 4 wheel drive to get there, though! Also if you go at night I think it's clothing optional. Daytime is good though!

I haven't been to any except Glenwood Springs. It's fun & family friendly.

My friend went here & I'm interested checking this place out.

Ditto.  Lots of other things to do there as well.  Drive through the canyon--it's beautiful!

Another vote for Strawberry Park. I would recommend 4WD or chains to get up there. They have signs posted along the road that you'll be subject to pretty large fines if you attempt it without one of them and get stuck. Also, it is clothing optional after dark, and when we were there most of the people were nekkid.

Another vote for Strawberry Park. I don't like the one in Glenwood Springs. It's like a big public swimming pool.

Thanks! Glenwood Springs is the one I've read the most about. I thought sulphur springs (I think that's the name) sounded cool, but it doesn't seem to be part of a resort.

The other good hot springs besides strawberry are Mount Princeton hot springs outside salida and buena vista. Steamboat is a better town though. Salida is very artsy and if you go in summer there are lots of great hikes and horseback riding, etc...
