Where is The New Hot Springs Location in Colorado?

Two hours south of Denver is Buena Vista, a beautiful town along the Arkansas River. Once owned by the Ute tribe, the area has a history of gold mining.

These days in Buena Vista, you'll find many outdoor activities, local craft breweries and other tourist destinations, including lodging. One place you can stay at now also has hot springs that are open to the public, which is great, because staying there is pretty expensive.
