Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa is a peaceful oasis nestled in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains of the San Luis Valley. It is more than just a retreat—it is a sanctuary, a community, and a place where people from all walks of life come to heal and find peace from the stresses of daily life. The naturally super-heated waters at Joyful Journey are geothermally and hydrothermally charged, offering a rare experience of odor-free mineral hot springs. Sourced directly from private artesian springs, these pools are tempered between 98°F and 108°F, providing a soothing and restorative environment. For centuries, these healing waters have served as a sanctuary for Native Americans, Spanish explorers, and settlers, who cherished their unique therapeutic qualities. Known simply as “The Waters,” this sacred place was seen as a refuge of peace where all tribes were welcome, leaving differences behind to heal. Guests can choose between the comfort of shared or single lodge rooms or the unique experience of staying in yurts with expansive night sky views. All accommodations include complimentary robes to enhance your stay. While Wi-Fi is available in designated areas, the retreat is intentionally designed to offer an opportunity to unplug and reconnect with yourself and the sacred surroundings.
