Therapeutic Hot Springs

Located just 20 minutes from the Bear Paw Inn is the Hot Sulphur Springs therapeutic mineral baths. Where the Ute Indians and their horses once bathed, healed mind, body, sprit and relaxed in the sacred waters...at 7,600 feet elevation.

The hot springs have been in operation for the past 140 years. Recently, a huge renovation took place, and there are now 21 pools and private baths. There is over 200,000 gallons of fresh hot mineral spring water flowing through the pools and baths each day. Temperatures are 98 to 112 degrees F. No chemicals are added, no re-circulation, no filtering.

Relax and detoxify after a day of skiing/tubing/snowshoe - the hot springs offers Shiatsu, Ashiatsu, and La Stone massage - also mud bath, herbal wrap and salt and citrus glow.

Rejuvenate your spirits at the hot springs after a day of hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park - The Bear Paw is only 25 minutes from the entrance - and wildlife abound. Or...soak after a day of biking on one of 600 miles of mountain bike trails surrounding the Bear Paw.
