Secret Colorado Hot Spring Along Red Mountain Pass
Red Mountain Pass offers a picturesque trip through some of the most beautiful scenery the state of Colorado has to offer. The pass is a popular drive for viewing the leaves changing colors in the fall, as well as mountains, streams, and even some old, abandoned buildings.
However, many who have taken this scenic drive are likely unaware that there is a hot spring located just a short hike away from the main road.
The hot spring has been modified in a few ways over the years, giving visitors an extra comfortable and relaxing experience. For example, a platform was built between the ground and the water which gives visitors access to an old bathtub. The bathtub is only large enough for one person to fit in it, but anyone who has taken a load off in it can attest that there are few things more relaxing.
