One of our favorite and most frequented
hot springs. The seclusion has made Cottonwood Hot Springs notable.
With seven different private pools and clothing optional, the essence
of these mineral springs are true old mining town Colorado. Picturesque,
nestled in the Collegiate Peaks Mountain Range, the hot springs here
are a therapy well earned after activities in the area.
Like most hot springs, the thermal waters are heated
by underground volcanic vents often found lying close to the tectonic
folds of most major mountain ranges.
