The Ouray Hot Springs Pool
The city-owned Ouray Hot Springs Pool draws natural geothermal water from springs beneath the canyon floor, maintaining multiple pools at temperatures ranging from 96°F to 106°F. The lap pool, leisure pool, and hot soaking pools are all fed from the same natural source.
Soaking after a day of hiking or jeeping is one of Ouray's great pleasures — steam rising above the pool while canyon walls glow at sunset. The facility is open daily and admission is modest.
Other Hot Springs Near Ouray
The Orvis Hot Springs, 12 miles north near Ridgway, offers a more rustic soaking experience with multiple ponds set in open meadows. It's a quieter, more intimate alternative to the main pool.
Cottonwood Hot Springs and Trimble Hot Springs are within a 90-minute drive, making Ouray a natural hub for a geothermal road trip through the San Juan region.
Soak and Stay at The Lumberyard
The Lumberyard Condos is the closest vacation rental property to the Ouray Hot Springs — a flat, easy walk through town. After a long day outdoors, there's nothing better than a soak under the stars with canyon walls towering above you.
