Mount Princeton Hot Springs

The possibilities are pretty endless and incredibly kid-friendly at the resort tucked at the base of the 14,200-foot Mount Princeton. The pools and the resort complex are on the banks of Chalk Creek, which runs milky white after a rainstorm hits the chalk cliffs upstream.

It’s a popular place for family reunions, and with area residents getting discounts and yearly passes, it can be a fun mix of locals and visitors. The adults-only area on the south side of the creek is a lot slower pace than the uphill area with its twin, 700-foot-long waterslides and infinity pool.
