Large outdoor pools surrounded by rocks are fed by free-flowing thermal water.
Clothing is optional after dark.
Be careful of ice and snow
I drove up the mountain from Steamboat Springs, a famous ski resort known.
After a 20-minute drive, I arrived at the hot springs.
![Dirt Road](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs01.jpg)
It is open all year around, but a four-wheel drive with snow tires or chains is required from November 1 to May 1.
Please use shuttle services if you have safety concerns.
![Waiting Space](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs21.jpg)
This is the carriage porch of the shuttles.
Walk-in is $15.00 to $20.00 per adult for all day (as of this writing).

There are camping grounds as well as lodging cabins.
It is interesting that they have a special accommodation in a train caboose.

Air of openness
I found it steaming on the opposite side of the creek.

Closing is required during daylight hours.
This log house is the changing room for both men and women.
![Changing Room 1](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs04.jpg)
The room is divided into four by curtains and heated with the wood-burning stove

The large pool in the right side is the kept water of the creek.
Guests can swim in it, which is just cold.
![Panorama 1](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs07.jpg)
The hottest water is in the left side after going down the steps.
![Hottest Tub 1](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs08.jpg)
The water gushes at around 145 degrees F.
![Soaking 02](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/01/strawberry-park-hot-springs28.jpg)
This pool was fed by only the free-flowing water; eventually it was comfortable temperature around 108 degrees F.
![Soaking 01](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/01/strawberry-park-hot-springs27.jpg)
The water was clear, colorless, and odorless.
![Under Construction](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs17.jpg)
I found some traces of pools.
Perhaps it might be under renovation.
![Stay Off Hillside 1](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs15.jpg)
The hot well is on a hillside.
![Stay Off Hillside 2](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs16.jpg)
Spilled water goes down on the slope, and flows into another changing room.
![Changing Room 3](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs13.jpg)
The thermal water seemed to be used for heating the space.
![Changing Room 2](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs14.jpg)
Two large pools were along the creek.
![Upper Pool 1](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs11.jpg)
The upper pool was maintained at 104 degrees F.
![Upper Pool 2](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs12.jpg)
There were water gates that controlled the water input from the creek.
![Dam](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs19.jpg)
On the opposite side, there was a massage room and small rock walled pool.
An additional fee is required to enjoy the luxury time.
![Relaxation Pool](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs20.jpg)
The lower pool was maintained at 100 degrees F.
![Soakers 2](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs18.jpg)
It was a good option to stay long while soaking.
![Lower Pool](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/05/strawberry-park-hot-springs24.jpg)
Clothing becomes optional after dark.

The air of openness at Strawberry Park is really unique and fabulous.
