On way to the front range, we (Mary Dawn, Smokie, and I) stopped off at Orient Land Trust Hot Springs to spend the night. Where is it you ask -> directions.
This time of year no one is around, and we had the natural pools all to ourselves. There is about 8 different pools in different settings. It was below freezing at night, and the water was more warm than hot. So in other words, leaving a pool to go to another one was a bit chilly.
One of the coolest things is the place is dog friendly. Smokie just watched us soak, wondering what we were doing.
We ventured into the dark night for our soaks with beverages and then back the next morning.
My favorite pool was the "Top Spring" which was a 1/4 mile hike up the hill with great "Valley Views". We went to this pool in the morning and had it all to ourselves.
The cabin was "primitive" but nice. It had a small kitchen which we cooked our chili on that night.
Over all, I highly recommend this place, if you want a natural rustic stay at hotsprings. The rate for our cabin was only $40.

Looks gorgeous. I think Thea may have been there once, but I haven't. Yet.
Compared to a lot of other hotsprings, it is a bit more relaxed rules. However, that might be because it was off season. If you go in the winter, be prepared for chills getting out. The water is not as hot as some places where your core is hot.
