Some people ride bikes for exercise. Others ride for the scenery. We ride because there's a hot spring waiting at the end!
Colorado has some incredible natural hot springs tucked into mountain towns, scenic valleys, and places where your GPS occasionally questions your life choices.
And here's our favorite way to explore them: Take the scenic route, enjoy an eBike adventure, and reward yourself with a well-earned soak.
Seven Colorado Hot Springs Worth Exploring
1. Strawberry Park Hot Springs - Steamboat Springs
Beautiful natural surroundings, mountain scenery, and steaming pools tucked into the forest. It's the kind of place that makes you forget what day it is.
2. Juniper Hot Springs - Craig
Head toward northwest Colorado for wide-open country, quiet roads, and a hot springs stop away from the usual mountain-town crowds.
3. Ouray Hot Springs - Ouray
Surrounded by the spectacular San Juan Mountains, Ouray is practically begging you to explore. Ride, wander around town, then soak with some seriously impressive views.
4. Mount Princeton Hot Springs - Buena Vista Area
Hot water, mountain views, and the beautiful Chalk Creek Valley. If there's a better way to recover from an adventure, we'd like to hear about it.
5. Cottonwood Hot Springs - Buena Vista
A rustic mountain getaway with natural mineral pools and plenty of opportunities to unplug. Your phone might actually get a vacation, too.
6. Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center - Salida
Explore Salida's historic downtown, enjoy the Arkansas River scenery, and finish with a relaxing mineral-water swim. Exercise followed by relaxation? We approve.
7. Sand Dunes Recreation - Hooper, Colorado
Here's a fun addition to your hot springs road trip! Located in Colorado's San Luis Valley, Sand Dunes Recreation offers geothermal soaking with wide-open valley views. Combine it with a visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park for an adventure that goes from sand in your shoes to soaking your toes.
Why Explore Colorado Hot Springs by eBike?
Because Colorado's best adventures aren't always about getting somewhere fast.
They're about discovering little towns, taking quieter roads, enjoying incredible scenery, and occasionally stopping because somebody spotted a bakery.
An eBike makes exploring fun, approachable, and a whole lot easier on the legs.
Just remember: Not every hot spring is directly accessible by bike. Plan your route, check road conditions, and use your vehicle to connect destinations when needed.
