About these waters

Tucked into the Animas Valley just north of Durango, this renovated resort runs more than two dozen sulfur-free mineral pools with views of the Hermosa Cliffs. Separate family and adults-only areas include a saltwater pool, cold plunges, and a mineral-water rain tower, plus a full-service spa. Day soaks run in two-hour timed sessions that sell out on weekends.

Good to know

  • Listing researched October 2026 — prices and hours change, always confirm with the spring before visiting.
  • Hydrate between soaks and limit hot soaks to 15–20 minutes — mineral water dehydrates fast.
  • Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa: FAQs

Do I need to book Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa in advance?

For day-use admission, popular resorts sell out on weekends — if the official site offers reservations, book ahead. Weekday visits are usually easier as walk-ins.

Are kids welcome at Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa?

Many developed springs welcome families, but age rules, family hours, and adults-only pools vary by property. Check the official site for the current policy before visiting with children.

How long should I soak at Durango Hot Springs Resort & Spa?

Start with 15–20 minutes, then cool off and hydrate before going back in. Hot mineral water dehydrates you faster than you expect — drink water between soaks and don't push through dizziness.
