A Walk in the Forest can Improve Physical and Mental Health

The Springs Resort is your natural hydrothermal therapy sanctuary, nestled deep within the heart of the San Juan Mountains. A place that contributes to your wellbeing, not only during the time you spend here but also in the days following. Hydrothermal therapy combined with physical activity such as hiking, skiing, and exploring nature can contribute to bettering your general health.

Every activity available is designed to provide lasting wellness. Whether it’s our healing soaking pools, time spent in our wellness studio, or simply soaking up the restorative nature around us, these aren’t just things to do.

This is water-based wellness in action.

Forest Bathing on Reservoir Hill

Sign up for your forest bathing experience here. You will meet your guide at the Wellness Studio in the Classic Building.

Your Forest Bathing Journey will take you up the winding paths of Reservoir Hill in the heart of downtown Pagosa Springs. Guests are invited to take in all that nature offers. While hiking, pause to experience the natural fragrance of the forest. Breathe deep and take in the scents of pine, earth, and fresh mountain air. Feel the texture of pine bark, the smoothness of oak leaves, and the damp soil beneath your feet. Listen as the breeze moves through the trees and tickles pine needles. Watch quietly and observe the balance of local wildlife in their natural habitat.
