Time to go have fun at The big O. I love it there. To relax and get away from everything. More

We normally frequent the Ouray Hot Springs Pool, but decided to be a little more adventurous on our last trip to Ouray. We have heard about this place for years but have been reluctant to visit as we were not excited about seeing nude "hippies" lounging about. For $14 its not a bad deal compared to the ever-rising fees at... More

This is all the other reviewers have stated - gorgeous, lots of pools to choose from, well maintained, clear water - but a few drawbacks are worth mentioning: if you are at all environmentally sensitive the camping area may not work since night breezes down the canyon carry fumes from the propane yard next door. Creosote soaked railroad ties are... More

Wonderful to relax in those warm lithium waters and soak away the stress. Free hot tea and coffee and an available kitchen to BYO food. No cell phones or electronics allowed to spoil the ambiance. No clothes either, if that's your choice. More

We've tried a lot of hot springs in Colorado and I will add Orvis to one we will visit again. We liked the variety of pools, and were easily able to find one for just the two of us. The surrounding mountain views were fantastic and it all seemed very clean. Wish we had remembered our flip-flops though as there... More

We've visiting Orvis many times and its always a relaxing day or weekend trip with my husband. Although this is a clothing optional hot springs, it is not necessary to go in the buff. In fast, over the years I've found that the majority are clothed. The inside tubs are desperately in need of re-tiling but the warm, hot spring... More

Once you get used to the fact that there are naked people milling about, it is totally relaxing, beautiful surroundings, perfect water, warm sunshine, mountain views. I love the privacy and the adult atmosphere. There aren't screaming kids, or loud people. Everyone is in their own space and just chillin. Highly recommend. More
