Adventurous hikers and soakers flock to Rainbow Hot Springs for its primitive natural pools along the San Juan River. The site hides in Rio Grande National Forest near the Weminuche Wilderness north of Pagosa Springs. A 4.5-mile one-way hike gains 1,000 feet to reach the two rock-built pools at 95°F and 105°F.
