Because it's indoors, you can enjoy these relaxing hot springs all year round, no matter what weather is happening outside.
While most hot springs are small and meant to be used while sedentary, the Salida Hot Springs give you plenty of room to move around so that you can swim, slide down the water slide, or even dive in after climbing a rock wall.
