Sand Dunes Swimming Pool

1991 County Road 63, Hooper, 81136, CO

This family-owned natural artesian pool is filled with natural hot springs water that is clear and odorless. The main pool is between 98 and 100 degrees, although there’s also a smaller therapy pool for soaking that’s a little hotter (105 to 107 degrees) as well as a covered pool for babies. Pool toys are available for rent, and you won’t want to miss the concession stand — it sells organic produce grown in on-site greenhouses. You’ll find this attraction northwest of the national park, just beyond the tiny town of Hooper on Highway 17. It’s open year-round but closed every Thursday for draining and refilling.
