Penny Hot Springs Details
There are several primitive hot spring sites in Colorado and this one may be one of the most scenics. Located just a short drive from Carbondale, this granite rock-walled pool sits on the banks of the Crystal River, boasting jaw-dropping views of the canyons and mountains. It is free to use which means you might have to get there early to beat the crowds. The spring itself is only 20-feet wide and 2-feet across, which means there is not much room to handle too many visitors.
