Soak in natural Piedra River Hot Springs, tucked away in the San Juan National Forest.
About a 45 minute drive east of Durango, sits the trailhead for the Piedra River Hot Springs. This free use, natural hot spring on the Piedra River has several 100 degree pools. The springs are accessible via a 3 mile roundtrip hike, often with wildlife sightings along the way. The hike to the hot springs is downhill, so remember, you'll have a little work to do on the way back out.
Please be respectful when visiting these hot springs. Remember to leave no trace and bring an extra trash bag to pack out any trash less responsible parties may have left behind.
If you're feeling thirsty and want to support the area, stop by Riff Raff Brewing post hike and soak for a beer and a bite!
