Some day trips are all about adventure, others about learning. And while those are certainly worthwhile reasons to take a day trip, sometimes the best ones are all about relaxation.

If you’re seeking peaceful serenity in nature while in Colorado, boy, do we have the spot for you. Strawberry Park Hot Springs in Steamboat Springs, Colorado makes for an incredibly luxe-feeling (yet affordable!) day trip destination that will have your muscles thanking you.

The resort features several different natural pools of varying heat (always above 101 degrees, despite the temperature outside) for visitors to take a soak in while they enjoy the stunning mountain scenery surrounding the springs. Massage therapists are on hand, and there are picnic areas to relax at when you need a break from the pools. And while it may seem like more of a winter activity, we can attest the hot springs feel amazing regardless of the season.
