Visiting one of Colorado's many hot springs is always a go-to get away or day trip. Swimming or just relaxing in a pool or hot tub is one of my favorite ways to relax any time of year. Anyone who is familiar with hot springs knows that some are more family friendly than others, so I thought that the first one I posted about would be one that is definitely family friendly.
The 'other half' and I decided to take a little day trip and take 'the kiddo' swimming at the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center.
This is a great place to stop if you are visiting the Salida area or even just passing through. I usually prefer a more relaxing soaking pool, but this pool is great for families. They have 2 pools; a larger one with lap lanes and a diving board, there is also a smaller/warmer pool. They also have private 18+ pools (I think they are small hot tub size), but we didn't get a chance to try those.
There is also an outdoor section with lawn chairs and a play area. After swimming and splashing around with my 'other half' and 'the kiddo' I spent most of the afternoon lounging on one of the lawn chairs working on my tan.
So, if you ever find yourself in Salida looking for something to do, this is a great place to check out, and if you happen to be skiing at Monarch Ski Area in the winter, they even offer discounts if you bring in your ski pass, and not being much of a fan of the cold, there really isn't much better than soaking in some hot water after a day in the cold!
