Book a hotel near Piedra River Hot Springs, Durango - Purgatory

Humans weren't made to spend all their time in office blocks, surrounded by concrete. A journey to places such as Piedra River Hot Springs isn't just a lot of fun, it's a necessity.

It is in Pagosa Springs. If you're unfamiliar with that name, it's 210 miles (338 kilometers) from the state capital, Denver.

Because you won't find any hotel options close by, it takes a little more determination to get there. Why not enquire about a room 50 miles (80 kilometers) away at the See Forever Village at the Peaks? If that doesn't suit you, try the Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge, 50 miles (80 kilometers) away, or the Lumière Telluride, 50 miles (80 kilometers) away.
