Nestled alongside the Crystal River, the Penny Hot Springs feature a half dozen pools that max out at 130 degrees, with temperatures decreasing the closer you get to the river.

Unlike other natural, primitive hot springs, Penny is easy to access, as it is located just beyond the parking lot and requires minimal hiking.

The Penny Hot Springs can be accessed from Glenwood Springs by taking CO-82 E toward Aspen for 10.2 miles and turning right onto CO-133 S (Carbondale). After 14 miles, you will see the hot springs on the east side of the highway, just a few hundred feet north of MM 55.
