Radium Hot Springs Details

If you are looking for a relaxing hot spring without the fuss of a fancy spa, then these natural pools are a must-see during your visit to Colorado. This is a primitive hot spring site, which means there are not any facilities, resorts, or even crowds to distract you from your day of rejuvenation. In fact, you can only reach it by kayaking along the Colorado River or hiking down a 1-mile path! The pool itself is relatively small, although it is perched along the foothills of the rocky outcroppings next to the river, so the views are nothing short of outstanding.
