Durango Hot Springs Resort is a natural hot spring resort located 8 miles north of Durango, Colorado and situated along the San Juan Skyway Scenic and Historic Byway connecting Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, Cortez, and Mesa Verde National Park.
History
[edit]Durango’s hot springs has ancient cultural significance, with documented use dating back to 1000–1200 A.D. [1]
In 1874, Frank Trimble discovered the therapeutic benefits of the springs and established the first hotel on the property in 1882.[2]
Three hotels have been built on the property; all three have burned down. The last and most devastating fire was in 1957, when the resort’s main building burned down. Trimble Resort then closed for nearly 30 years. [3]
Before reopening again in 1987, elders from the Southern Ute Tribe blessed the grounds in an ancient native ceremony. For the next 30 years, the resort had one swimming pool, two small hot spring pools and a small bathhouse.[4]
In 2019, new owners purchased the historic Trimble Hot Springs and rebranded it as Durango Hot Springs Resort and Spa.[5] Since then, the resort has undergone a complete upgrade. [6]
