The Salida Hot Springs is a year-round facility offering
aquatic recreation and relaxation in natural mineral water.
Collected
underground and piped 5 miles from the source high in the majestic
Rocky Mountains, this sparkling clear and odorless water was originally
enjoyed by the Ute Indians. It flows continually
into the various Salida Hot Springs pools, refreshing and warming
them naturally.
Colorado's
largest indoor hot springs pool facility. This 1937 WPA
project employed some 200 men for digging and laying the original
pipeline and constructing the buildings. The facility, including
the water line, has been updated several times over the years..
A
25 meter, 6 lane pool dominates a large portion of the building.
At approximately 84° - 86° this pool is delightful
for swimming, diving and recreational play. Two lap lanes
are usually available.
Across
a divider wall, a smaller 4 foot deep pool holds water
at approximately 95° - 100°. The zero depth entry
provides easy access. This pool is excellent for warm aqua-therapy,
exercise and soaking.
Our private
Hot Baths are closed until further notice.
