Private indoor baths
It is two hours’ drive from Denver to the small town, Hot Sulphur Springs.
Until the 19th century, the Native American Ute tribe used these springs for medicinal purposes.
In 1863, the founder of a local newspaper, the Rocky Mountain News bought the land from a Sioux woman, while the Utes were considered the rightful owners.
Long after the questionable transaction, the Rocky Mountain News shuttered in 2009; and the hot springs continue gushing.
There are two indoor private pools.
The L-shaped tub is for three soakers.
This type of cloudy sulfur water is relatively common in Colorado and can also be found in Pagosa (e.g., Healing Waters).

Approximately 24 pools are located in the not-so-big area under the hill.
The water temp is 126 degrees F at the gushing points.
Pools are generally hotter in the upper side and warmer in the lower side.
99 degrees F water was fed around here.
Due to the component change during the cooling time, it looks blueish.
Let’s go to the upper side.
At the center of the premises, there is a large building for changing rooms and an indoor bathroom.
In the spacious indoor bath, there are two pools.
Perhaps because of the different sources of springs, I observed the water here slight blackish.
There are truely so many tubs and pools.
Some of them look ready-made Jacuzzi tub.
Some others are divided by partitions.
The Ute Pool could be the symbol of Hot Sulphur Springs.
Taking advantage of the great ground form, the wild atmosphere is unique.
In the uppermost are, water is apparently clear and colorless.
Many mineral deposits are floating in the tubs.
The water temp is around 111 degrees F.
I really loved the hotter water, and enjoyed the strong smell of the mixture of oil and sulphur.
