Orvis Hot Springs

Orvis Hot Springs, Ridgway, CO


We are spending the next two days at Orvis Hot Springs in Ridgway, Colorado.
Full disclosure, this picture is downloaded from the internet.  It’s a clothing optional place so they are pretty strict about not bringing in any electronic devices.  You’ll have to trust  me on the description.  




This place is gorgeous. About 9 different pools with varying water temperatures, beautiful grounds, lots of flower lined pathways and little nooks tucked away everywhere.  We are camping here, but it’s a dry campground - i.e. we’re in a dirt parking lot with no amenities. The plus is that we get 24 hr. access to the entire place. (That includes hot springs, pools, showers, bathrooms, bbq grills, sauna, etc.) 









The drive from Utah to Colorado, over mountains and thru valleys and farmland was so beautiful.  Fall is in the air!











We stopped in Moab on our way out of town this morning for some breakfast burritos. Moab has the best food trucks! 
















The beauty of traveling with your home is that you’re always prepared with the hot sauce😉






















We’ve been killing the meals on this trip! Last night we had roasted veggies and chicken apple sausage on the grill then added some Thai curry sauce, with naan bread, of course.  
Tonight, leftovers.  











Our little slice of heaven next to a meadow. 












View from our van this evening.  Having a late dinner and then going to hit the hot springs again later this evening.  Looking forward to seeing the stars while soaking.

Weren't you in Orvis Hot Springs in one of your previous trips. I recall you really liked it if it was the same or some place similar.

We’ve never stayed at this hot spring before, but would love to come back!
