Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa sits at the place in the northern San Luis Valley that used to be known as Mineral Hot Springs. It's a beautiful setting for a developed geothermal spring with the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as a dramatic and ever-changing backdrop.
The 3 outdoor pools are kept between 98° and 108° and have a balance of minerals including calcium, arsenic, magnesium, boron, flouride, lithium and manganese. This is a great place to assist you with any health issues you may have.
In addition to a full run of spa delights (massage, therapy, wraps, etc.), Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa also offers year-round lodging (yurts, tipis, dry RV and tent camping) that includes continental breakfast, use of the bath house and soaks.
Some of these photos may show some construction going on: the folks are adding 5 new soaking pools and more bathhouse/massage space to the complex. It's beautiful now, and will be more beautiful when they're done.
PS: They are open every day except Wednesdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas, 10AM to 10PM.
