Strawberry Park in Steamboat springs is my personal favorite. Love sitting in the hot water, watching the open sky at night...(dreaming about it now).

Been to nearly every hot spring in Colorado. My all-around favorite is the municipal hot springs pool in Ouray. Nice facility, great setting, clean, not crowded (at least during the week when I usually go), not overly expensive. "Hot springing" is also usually best in winter--I'm not that fond of it in summer.

Pagosa Springs is my #1 favorite. I love the variety of temperatures to choose from. I usually start in the pools with a mid range temperature, then gradually work up to the Lobster Pot on the banks of the San Juan River. Being able to dip in the river is another big plus.

The Vapor Cave @ Weisbaden resort in Ouray is a close #2

Orvis Hot Springs in Ridgeway is a close #3

I agree with jazzlover....winter time is the best time to visit the hot springs, though I also enjoy summer soaks as well. The steam rising off the waters makes for an almost other worldly setting in the winter. Just visited Orvis this past weekend, and the experience is still fresh in my mind.

Mt Princeton Hot Springs is nice. Under new ownership and a lot of upgrades have been done. Three pools and a spa area. A lot of history with it, also.

Glenwood Springs, Colorado during the peak of tourist season.
It is the largest natural mineral hot springs in the world.
You will find beautiful women and generally nice folks from all over the world and the USA.

Incorrect. That title goes to the Thermopolis Hot Springs in Thermopolis, Wyoming. Thermopolis, Wyoming: Home

As for Glenwood Hot Springs, they're OK if you like sitting in the pool and listening to all the trucks on I-70. I personally find it one of the least desirable hot springs in the state--it's just well-known and living off of its past history, which was quite interesting. As far as a nice hot springs, my personal favorite is the hot springs pool at Ouray. Gorgeous setting, usually not crowded, reasonably priced, and well-maintained.

As for pretty girls, I've never seen a surplus of them at any hot springs, and I've been to just about every one of them in Colorado--most of them numerous times over the years. Oh, and "clothing optional" does not mean "lots of pretty girls"--usually the opposite.

Absolutely spot on! My wife and I have been to Orvis Hot Springs on several occassions. It's quite obvious that most of those opting out of their clothing are utterly out of shape old guys, hoping against hope that some sweet young lady opts out of her clothes for their oogling pleasure.
