Pinkerton hot spring is a unique rock formation made by thermal waters.
The Million Dollar Highway in Southern Colorado is a scenic mountain drive with many beautiful sights. Pinkerton hot springs is located on the side of the highway just outside of Durango, Colorado. There is a small pullout area for parking with a plaque explaining the history of the area and the Pinkerton Ranch and hot springs. The minerals from the spring have created quite a unique rock formation with a small pool to one side. It's a great place to stop, stretch those legs, and snap a few photos before continuing down the Million Dollar Highway.
