The Ouray Hot Springs Pool sits at the northern end of Ouray, a former mining town enclosed on three sides by the San Juan Mountains. The large outdoor pool is divided into sections at different temperatures, all fed by odourless, sulphur-free mineral water.

Warum hingehen
The mountain wall rises directly above the water, and the pool stays open through the winter, when steam and snow meet at the pool edge.
