We have been to about 20 different hot springs in Canada, Oregon, Washington and Idaho and this one is the most scenic. It is also inexpensive compared to other hot springs, especially the ones in Canada. Pools are usually cheaper, but this is a natural hot springs not a pool. It is a bit old but well maintained and clean.... more

We enjoyed our three visits to the pool. It's spacious, warm, and in a spectacular setting. That said, for being "Ouray's top attraction" we were a bit puzzled at the lack of innovation and proper maintenance at the pool. For instance the floatees (which you rent) were in poor shape and they didn't have boats (as advertised) because, according to... more

I went here with my wife and 2 year old. It was a great family trip. Being from Denver this is a long drive. But overall it is a nice hot springs. I believe it is better than Glenwood Springs, but it isn't worth the extra drive time. more

This place was great. We went on 1/28/09. First the employees are very nice and explained where everything was and even gave us directions to the ice climbing park. Second , this place is really set up great. After you pay then you have men's and women's locker rooms which lead out right to the edge of the pool (you... more

As always, the pool is a great way to end a day of hiking in the mountains. The pool is a bit pricey, so be ready for that. I'd recommend a 3 day pass if you will use the pool more than once, as it is cheaper than 2 days of admission. Also, bring quarters if you intend to use... more

As other reviewers have said, this is a great pool. The views are incredible and no sulfer smell! The kids enjoyed the water slide and make sure to look at the small pond just outside the fence in the park. It is filled with beautiful fish and turtles! more

The Ouray Hot Springs pool was wonderful! There are three different temperatures of water, a lap pool, diving board, and a slide. They rent noodles, toys, towels, and even suits there. One word of advice if you are traveling with children they will have to swim a lap in the pool forward and then a backstroke a lap to qualify... more

Relax in the naturally heated waters of Ouray!! Similar to the pools in Glennwood or Pagosa but no sulfer smell. Simple bath house with lockers and showers. Towels & Suits for Rent. Soaking in the "hot section" and taking in the view could not have been better. more

The Ouray Hot Springs pool, while commercialized and cemented-over and situated right next to the only road in and out of town, still boasts a breathtaking view of the surrounding San Juan Mountains. At night, soaking in the hot springs pool, you can see the lights of the town glitter like a necklace around the mountain--incredible! Definitely recommended. more
