While the holiday season is considered the most joyous time of the year, it can also be the most stressful, thanks to expensive gifts and food, travel, and family drama that you somehow managed to avoid for the rest of the year. Do you need to sit back, relax, and avoid all of this stress (or maybe simply enjoy the winter air once we've reached that post-holiday blues point)? Then take a wintertime soak at the Durango Hot Springs in Colorado! See why they're beyond amazing:
Located in - you guessed it! - Durango, the aptly named Durango Hot Springs, was "created as an extension of what has always existed here in the incredible healing properties of the natural mineral hot springs."
Thought to have originally been used by the area Ancient Puebloan people between 1000 to 1200 A.D., the Durango Hot Springs are as historical as they are relaxing, as they were also used by other tribes traveling through the area circa the 1700s.
In the late 1800s, the Hot Springs were converted into both accommodations and a full-blown wellness destination, both of which are still relevant a century and a half later.
Whether you stay on-site awhile or visit just for the day, you are sure to leave the Durango Hot Springs feeling relaxed and refreshed, thanks to an unmatched mineral content that is comprised of everything from silica to sulfur and calcium.
Can you imagine taking a warm soak while the earth around you is covered in snow? So can we!
