Our Waters
Although the water rises from the travertine springs at between 120°F and 145°F, we maintain our pools between 98°F and 108°F. The water is a sodium bicarbonate type with significant levels of boron, calcium, lithium and magnesium along with several other beneficial minerals.
Native American elders and spiritual masters from the Crestone area consider this area on the west side of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as one of the most sacred and energetically active places in North America. It is said that the water here is encoded with the energy of the earth from which it rises.
*The 98°F cool pool is perfect for those with a low tolerance for hot water, yet still want to get the benefit of our minerals.
*The 104°F medium pool (aka The Tower Pool) is a great middle temperature for soaking.
*The 108°F hot pool (aka The View Pool) is ideal for those who prefer a hotter temperature, and for those with arthritis, joint and muscle pain – with spectacular views of the mountains. Please note that this pool is a Quiet Pool. Please keep your conversations to a whisper, or less, while soaking in The View Pool.
*Our two jacuzzi hot tubs are maintained at 104°F, and, like The Tower Pool, offer a great middle temperature for soaking.
All of our pools are filled with the natural, mineral-rich, geothermically heated water that rises in artisanal springs on the property. Each pool is drained and cleaned nightly. The jacuzzi hot tubs are cleaned weekly.
Sorry, no children under the age of 5 in the pools or jacuzzies, please.
*Please note, private soaking pools are currently unavailable. We hope to have them operational soon.*
Mineral List
The mineral content of Joyful Journey’s therapeutic artesian waters has been known to increase metabolism, accelerate healing, soothe muscles, improve blood circulation, detoxify the body’s lymphatic system as well as fight effects of fatigue, insomnia, arthritis and a depressed immune system.*
Joyful Journey is one of the few places on earth with natural hot mineral water that does not have the “sulfur odor” that is often found in many hot springs.
Please note that we make no assumption of healing. The following is for your information only.
