The experience
A place worth getting to know.
A city-owned, sulfur-free geothermal pool complex in Ouray, originally opened in 1927 and fully rebuilt in 2016–2017. It offers several pools at different temperatures, including an adults-only overlook pool at 102–106°F, plus summer water slides and a fitness center. It has no on-site lodging, but many hotels are within walking distance.
