Such a fun little spot close to the Sand dunes and such a gem in the valley for locals and tourists…read morealike. This spot has plenty of parking, camping and lots to offer. The pool/hot springs are split into 2 primary areas. One big area that is meant for all with a kids pool, large hot springs pool with diving boards for all to have fun, a snack bar with lots of goodies (but you can bring your own food in too if you want, which is great for families on a budget), a grassy picnic area, basketball court, and a small toddler friendly slide area as well. You can also rent cabanas. The other area is for 21+ in the greenhouse. It's fully separated from the family area and is an adult atmosphere. There is a bar, snack bar with a limited menu, dense lush greenery, and numerous hot pools of varying temps. There is also a sauna for sweating it out. We spend a lot of time here relaxing and enjoying the pool and cocktails. This is a great place to spend the day or evening. This is not a high end spa but a mid-tier budget friendly option that is well worth it. My only criticism is that the locker rooms could use some updating, but I'll still take it!

No one cares who is on the slides or how many kids are at the bottom. Diving board? Sure, jump off it while kids are swimming in the deep end. There were lifeguards there if things got truly bad, but the hands-off approach allowed a good amount of appropriate youthful riskiness. And the heat of the water ensures you will all be relaxed and mellow by the end of it all. It's more expensive than a typical city pool, but it's nicely heated by the hot springs.

You can bring in snacks, but there's also a snack bar available. I only gave three stars because the lifeguard situation is not what it should be. There is at least 60 people in the pool, with all slides and diving boards open.. and there is only one lifeguard out who is sitting in a deck chair only half paying attention to anything. There's so many little kids, that there's lots of parents close by to keep an eye on their kids and those around them.. but the slides are a little dang mess. There are kids jumping in on top of each other because they aren't clearing underneath. This is such a great spot, I wish they would just beef up that aspect and it would be perfect.

This place is amazing! I always wondered how we have a Gator and Reptile Park in Colorado and…read moreunderstanding that it is because the geothermal well provides 87F water year-round. Upon entering, we were greeted by Matt who welcomed us with the biggest smile and asked us to share our experience that we had in the Crocodile Rescue in Zambia. Matt and the other employees are so passionate about all the rescued animals at the Park. We were greeted by another employee who explained that all the animals have either been confiscated by law enforcement, given up by their owners, or simply found (the giant iguana was found sitting in a tree by a man walking a neighborhood). All the animals have pasts that aren't the best but they get to live the rest of their lives in a sanctuary getting the proper care they deserve. The Park is vast and there are plans to make it even larger. What I thought would take only 30 minutes took well over 2 hours. I am a kid at heart and also love photography so this was best way to spend our early afternoon. I absolutely adore the staff!! They are amazing and are passionate, which shows in their personalities and how they light up talking about all the different animals.

I was really glad to see that there's a place like this that supports those critters but also saddened by how many had been pets at one time. It was a great place to support would definitely go back.

Our family did a day trip to the sand dunes from our campsite at Lathrop, and we were looking for…read moresand boards to rent on the way. Spindrift is a cute, colorful shop right on the main street through Blanca. We ordered them online a few days before, but there were plenty of boards when we arrived. The large group in front of us seemed to be walk ins and received boards with no issue. Amy greeted us and got us set up with our boards and sled. We had three different style of boards for different riding experiences. She gave us all fun "jobs" on the dunes and thorough instructions. We all agreed the world needs more Amys. She is really pleasant, welcoming, and a wonderful individual. The dunes are another 30 minute drive from Blanca, but well worth it to get the quality and variety of boards and sled versus what you can get at the store right by the Dunes. The prices were half of that store and the boards are superior in every way. Useful tip Amy gave us - wear socks with your sandals or crocs. That sand temperature in the summer is no joke and can burn your feet fast. Just rock the socks! I highly recommend Spindrift to anyone looking to do sand boarding or sledding!

What an amazing experience did we have visiting this awesome place…read more My friend is visiting for a few days and we decided to go to the Grand Sand Dunes to explore, and while we were at it we decided to experience sand surfing. To sand surf you require special equipment so we stopped here to get what we needed. Little did we know, we got way more than just the equipment. The beautiful being that greeted us (the owner herself!)at the store was so warm and inviting. She gave us pointers on how to sand surf, she explained the whole process of how to properly use the board, the waxing method, lots of kisses from Bella (the cute doggy that was with her), and just an amazing vibe. The value of the gear rental is very affordable, but the value of the whole experience has no price. Thank you so much for your awesome, we had a fantastic day thanks to your expertise and wonderful vibration!

Years ago, Penitente Canyon served as a place of worship for Los Hermanos Penitente. The Brothers, Spanish and Indian men of deep faith and commitment, preferred to live secluded in the foothills and canyons of the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo Mountains to practice their religion freely. In some areas you can see historic/religious painting left behind on the rocks. Penitente Canyon, while quite secluded, has also emerged as one of Colorado's premier rock climbing areas. The area is part of the 7,529 acre Penitente Canyon Special Recreation Management Area of the BLM. Our group had a wonderful time hiking the canyons, clamoring over the "Rock Garden" and watching climbers in various stages of ascent and decent. It's a beautiful area and well worth a trip in this somewhat remote region. Our late afternoon visit was also the perfect beginning of a busy weekend and a great opportunity to just hang out with new friends.
