Cottonwood Hot Springs Buena Vista, Colorado

One of our favorite and most frequented hot springs. The seclusion has made Cottonwood Hot Springs notable. With seven different private pools and clothing optional, the essence of these mineral springs are true old mining town Colorado. Picturesque, nestled in the Collegiate Peaks Mountain Range, the hot springs here are a therapy well earned after activities in the area.

Like most hot springs, the thermal waters are heated by underground volcanic vents often found lying close to the tectonic folds of most major mountain ranges.
