Formerly known as the Mineral Hot Springs, Joyful Journey makes a great stop while passing through central Colorado. It’s located in a beautiful part of the San Luis Valley, about 30 miles south of Salida in Moffat, Colo.

The views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range east of the hot springs are remarkable. Year-round you can soak in a number of hot springs pools at Joyful Journey. They also have lodging on-site, ranging from motel rooms to furnished and heated yurts.

Hot Spring Pools

There are three pools of varying sizes and temperatures filled with hot mineral water. Temperatures range from 98ยฐ to 108ยฐ F. All of the pools are gravity fed with artesian water. The mineral water comes from deep within the earth and reaches the ground at 120 – 140ยฐ F.
