A Quick History of The Springs Resort & Spa
First Visitors
For countless generations, Native Americans in southwestern Colorado enjoyed bathing in the mineral hot spring water in Pagosa Springs.
A Federally Approved Health Destination
Later, the U.S. Army became interested in studying the health benefits of the water. They concluded, “The waters of Pagosa are without a doubt the most wonderful and beneficial in medicinal effects that had ever been discovered.” The glowing reports attracted more settlement. In 1881, the first bathhouse was built on the property. Serviced by the railroad, the town and its hot springs were a destination for health-seeking travelers through the mid-1930s. In the 1950s, motel lodging was added.
Famous Guests
Famous visitors included WWII war hero Major Jimmy Doolittle. His wartime bravery in leading Doolittle’s Raid on Tokyo is legendary. John Wayne also visited the springs when he was filming the movie, “The Cowboys” in the 1960s.
Taking the Lead
The Springs Resort and Spa has changed hands several times over the years—most recently in 2018. The current owners consider it a great responsibility to be stewards of this remarkable property for future generations.
