Steamboat Springs isn’t just known for its world-class skiing and outdoor adventures—it’s also home to some of the best natural hot springs in Colorado. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing soak after a day on the slopes or a unique way to experience the area’s geothermal wonders, these hot springs are a must-visit.
Strawberry Park Hot Springs
Tucked into the mountains just outside of town, Strawberry Park Hot Springs offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. The mineral-rich waters flow into beautifully designed rock pools, ranging in temperature from warm to steamy. During the day, the setting is perfect for families and visitors of all ages, but after dark, the springs become clothing-optional for an adults-only experience. Keep in mind that access requires a reservation, and in winter, a 4WD vehicle or shuttle is required to navigate the snowy roads.
What to Know Before You Go:
- Reservations Required – Book online in advance
- Winter Access – 4WD or shuttle service needed
- Evening Policy – Clothing-optional after dark
