COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Some of Colorado’s hot springs rise above the rest. Consider these for your soaking bucket list.

Strawberry Park Hot Springs

It maintains a rugged quality—no better felt than in winter, when the road from Steamboat Springs requires a four-wheel drive. However rough the journey, it’s all serenity upon arrival. The stone-cut, thermal pools are nestled in a forest that catches the glistening snow for which the ski town is famous. You might pair a pool reservation with lodging; choose from a quirky array of cabins, a train caboose and a covered wagon.

The Springs Resort

Pagosa Springs is home to several commercial hubs that have harnessed the town’s thermal waters (not to mention the “hippie dips” known along the river through town). This is the most renowned spot. For the suite named for Oprah, yes. But more so for the Mother Spring, regarded as the world’s deepest geothermal spring. It feeds pools varying in size and temperature along a terrace that is open to day guests.
