Located about 2 hours north of Durango and about 90 minutes from Telluride. I drove here from Bryce in Utah. That was a beautiful drive which took about 6 hours. I stayed at a great little motel called Wiesbaden Hot Springs Spa. This place was very intimate and offered not only mineral pools, but vaporcaves under the hotel, as well as very reasonable massage treatments. They also have a private bath with waterfall (no clothing required). Rates were very reasonable too. There are only 22 units here.<\/p>\n<p>There are some great hikes with trailheads nearby, so you can just walk to many of them. The restaurants and bars are fairly priced too. \u00a0Bottom line &#8211; Although relatively out of the way, this place is so worth the time it takes to get here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_453\"
