List of hot springs in Colorado

This is a partial list of geothermal springs in the US State of Colorado. These springs range in volume from the hot springs around Glenwood Springs which keep the Colorado River from freezing for 50 miles (80 km) downstream to little springs with just a trickle of water. Water temperatures range from scalding to tepid. Accommodations around these springs range from elegant resorts to remote mountain sides. Many of these springs are on private property, so check before entering.
