Piedra River Hot Springs

Piedra River Hot Springs

Directions- Take US 160 for about 20 miles southwest of Pagosa Springs. The turn off is located 5.5 miles west of the Chimney Rock turnoff which is on the left (Hwy 151) and before the Piedra River. From Highway 160, you will make a right on 1st Fork Road/Co Rd 166. Take road for 7.3 miles until you reach trailhead and parking area. Take the Sheep Creek Trailhead.

The hike down is all downhill. At the bottom of the trail, follow the fork to the right. The hot springs are about 1/2 mile upriver. Look for an open area where you can see what looks like camp spots. Bring a shovel if you can to help maintain the hot springs! Clothing is optional so be ready for that!

Distance- 3 miles round trip
