natural hot springs

The last inhabitants left in 1918. This former mining town deep in Colorado has been restored from top to bottom and offers an exquisite retreat. Log cabins and spacious tents provide delightfully comfortable rooms; meals are taken in the saloon which has retained its original character, and provides a convivial gathering spot. The landscape of this splendid alpine valley, nestled in the San Juan mountains, changes with the passing seasons, from pristine white snow to flaming orange in autumn. This magnificent site’s natural hot springs with their life-enhancing benefits are an added bonus.

Our commitments

Responsible tourism is firmly on Dunton Hot Spring’s agenda—a philosophy it pursues in a multitude of ways.
The area’s hot springs feed its pool with water already heated to 39°C. The resort is working with a Denver-based engineer to recover a portion of this heat, and has plans to make its summer extension, Dunton River Camp, energy self-sufficient. Biodiversity is a focus too. When Dunton wanted to construct a new 5km cross-country ski route, it commissioned a study into the potential for the route’s open runs to allow Nordic white rabbits to better escape their natural predator, the Lynx. The work took some two years to complete and demonstrated that risks of upsetting the forest’s finely balanced ecosystem were minimal. The resort also encourages guests to visit the Mesa Verda National Park, some 120km southwest, to discover the Pueblo people who occupied its extraordinary cliff-face dwellings. In an area known for its native peoples, the resort aims to see guests depart with a better understanding of Native American culture.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at the Dunton Hot Springs

Cross-country skiing and downhill skiing

Starting at the Dunton Hot Springs estate, several cross-country ski slopes snake off into the surrounding mountains. It's not unusual to discover traces left by wild animals as you ski at your own pace on the pristine snow. Downhill skiing is also one of the best ways to discover Colorado. Lost among the tall pines of the San Juan Mountains and shrouded in silence, embark on a voyage of discovery.

The legend of the American West

In the heart of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Dunton Hot Springs will transport you to the prosperous Gold Rush era. The hand-built wooden log cabins have been restored. The Saloon, with its hardwood period bar, has retained many of its original materials. The lanterns lining the pathways, the Western-style posters displayed on the walls, and the unobstructed view of the San Juan Mountains provide the finishing touches to an authentic Far West experience. Butch Cassidy himself would be right at home strolling through the Saloon door.

Fly Fishing

With your hat firmly on your head and your senses alert, why not work on perfecting your cast? On the Dolores River with only stags, moose, and coyotes for company, a teacher will show you how to cast like a pro. The West Fork of the Dolores River is recognised by many guides as one of the best places for fly-fishing in North America.

Mountain biking in Colorado

Colorado is a popular destination for mountain biking enthusiasts due to the many routes to explore, especially around Dunton Hot Springs. We’ll take you on technical trails that cross the most beautiful landscapes in the region, whether it's along the ridge road, through the heart of the forests, or on the edge of the canyons. The most expert among you will be able to dare the dizzying ascent to the top of the Winter Trail, Stoner Mesa or Mount Johnny Bull, before coming back down into the valley to enjoy the beneficial effects of a bath in our hot springs.
