Hot Sulphur Springs
Hot Sulphur Springs is the oldest town in Grand County, and one of Colorado's oldest resort areas. The town was founded in 1874 and sits at the top of Byers Canyon, where the cliff walls suddenly close in around the Colorado River. It's a tiny town, with just over 600 residents. more info
While some might consider Hot Sulphur Springs no more than a reduced speed obstacle between Granby and Steamboat Springs, it is an area rich in history and activities.
The quaint mountain town of Hot Sulphur Springs, is located 1 hour and 45 minutes northwest of Denver via I-70 to Highway 40 and only 30 minutes west of the Winter Park Ski Area (Colorado's busiest ski area); 10 minutes from Sol Vista Ski Area; 60 minutes from Summit County which has major skiing and sailing and just over an hour to Vail and Steamboat Springs.
Hot Sulphur Springs is the home of the Hot Sulphur Springs Resort and Spa at 7600 feet elevation, where the Ute Indians (and their horses and dogs) once bathed, healed mind, body, and spirit and relaxed in sacred waters. The Springs has been in operation continually for the past 140 years. In 1996, major renovation took place, and it is again one of Colorado's finest destination resorts.
