Rain storms are fast moving and typically do not last very long. The humidity in this area averages about 33%. The first snow usually arrives in September (though it usually snows somewhere in the state every month, except maybe August).

Pack for Comfort and the Weather
Colorado’s weather can be unpredictable, so pack layers. Bring a swimsuit, sandals, a cozy robe, and sunscreen for daytime soaking. In winter, don’t forget a hat and warm coat for walking between pools. -
Book Your Stay for Full Access
Staying overnight at Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort includes complimentary hot springs access. Choose from creekside suites, cabins, or hillside rooms for a range of options. -
Soak Like a Pro
Head to the river pools for a unique experience. These pools are fed by natural hot spring water mixing with the creek, offering a true Colorado adventure. -
Arrive Early or Stay Late
Early morning soaks are serene and crowd-free, while nighttime soaking under Colorado’s starry skies is magical. Plan your visit to avoid peak hours for ultimate relaxation. -

Treat yourself to a hot stone massage or facial at the resort’s spa. Many spa packages include access to the exclusive spa pools. -
Take Advantage of Resort Activities

Stay Hydrated
The high altitude can dehydrate you quickly, especially while soaking in hot springs. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol during long soaks to stay refreshed. -
Explore Beyond the Springs
