So you've made it to Pagosa Springs, but don't have the money to stay at a hot springs hotel? Don't worry! There is the Hippie Dip Hot Spring where even penniless hippies can soak. Ignorance is bliss My regular lodging ...

It has a peaceful atmosphere with old-fashioned stores.

Street

The exterior of Overlook Hot Springs looks like just a boutique.

Entrance

This historic building was built in the 1920s.

Lobby

Walk-in soak ($24.00 for an adult; as of this writing) and series of massage are available.

Corridor 3

After passing through the reception, I got suddenly thrown into the indoor bath.

The basic rule is clothing required.

Bath House 1

To the right as I entered, there were three pools behind a long curtain hanging from the ceiling.

Bath House 3

Two of them were fed by milky-white sulfur spring typical of Pagosa.

Bath House 2

Even shadows on the walls were Victorian.

Bath House 4

There was another tub on the left, in a secluded area.

Tubs in the backyard

Corridor 2

I passed through the long building, with changing rooms and massage rooms along the way.

Backyard 3

Then I arrived at the long and narrow backyaRoad

It was located in a built-up area, but the beautiful plantings made it feel less cramped.

Backyard 2

The backyard was spectacular with a number of ready-made tubs.

Backyard 5

If you pursue the freshness of water, these single-person tubs may be the best.

Water was not cloudy because it had not been exposed to air for long.

Backyard 4

It felt strong smell of Sulphur, and did not feel chlorination.

Rooftop outdoor baths

Climbing up stairs from the indoor bath, I reached the rooftop.

You can pay $250.00 for a private use, but usually anyone can use here without paying that much money.

In the partitioned space, there was a circular hot tub.

Circle Tab 2

I liked the vertical lines of decorative glass.

Circle Tab 1

There were two rectangular pools on the rooftop.

Rooftop 4

Across the main street, it had a spectacular view of the San Juan River and beyond.

Rooftop 2

From the cozy entrance of the building, it was hard to imagine the magnificent view.
