About these waters
Just off I-70 in Idaho Springs, this century-old property is famous for its geothermal vapor caves, tunnels dug into the mountainside where communal pools steam at over 108 degrees. Upstairs, a tropical greenhouse houses the main mineral swimming pool amid palm trees. Private indoor baths, outdoor tubs, mud treatments, and basic lodge rooms and cabins round out the options.

- Wild springs run on the honor system: pack out everything, leave the pool cleaner than you found it.

Indian Hot Springs: FAQs
Do I need to book Indian Hot Springs 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 Indian Hot Springs?
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 Indian Hot Springs?
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.
