Colorado Tops USA TODAY Hot Springs Rankings
From Arkansas’s Scott—home to a Plum Bayou mound site and a heritage-hugging museum complex with Willow Beach Park’s river activities—to Colorado’s renowned hot springs and spa resorts like The Springs Resort and Durango Hot Springs, plus Durango’s storied mining-to-tourism evolution and mountain trails, the region showcases a broad mix of historic, natural, and wellness experiences. In Washington, the Two Dollar Trail at Larrabee State Park offers a quiet post-work hike with bay views, while Arizona’s Tempe Beach Park along Tempe Town Lake represents a postcard-ready desert waterfront escape that invites relaxed day trips.
