Summer in Colorado is a fantastic season. Hiking trails open up, the mountains are more accessible, and the hours of daylight are seemingly endless. Of course, there is one potential downside: the immense heat.

When the weather is warm, there is no better way to cool off than jumping into a beautiful all-natural pool — especially when the said pool is fed by a tiered waterfall! Where can one find such a scenic gem and place to go swimming in Colorado? Look no further than Devil’s Punchbowl. We recommend this Colorado swimming hole that must be on your summer bucket list:
