10. Conundrum Hot Springs

Considered the Holy Grail of hot springs, the Conundrum Hot Springs near the Aspen Mountains open up to one of the most breathtaking landscapes of craggy peaks and tall pines. Even though they’re very popular, these hot springs are difficult to reach — you have to hike there and camp if you plan to stay overnight. However the 8.5-mile hike is one of Colorado’s greatest experiences. The 102-degree spring water and panoramic beauty are the best rewards a hiker could get after an exhausting trip.
