Dunton Hot Springs Resort - Dunton Ranch
Dunton, Colorado
|
Dunton Hot Springs Resort Description: Each of Dunton's guest cabins is an authentic, nineteenth century, hand-hewn log building, restored by local and Native American craftsmen who specialize in traditional building techniques.
Additional Information: Although no two are alike, each bears a distinct individual character and history. All are furnished with custom luxury amenities, and reveal splendid views that change throughout the day with the shifting colors of sunlight on the mountains. All are less than five minutes walk to the bar, dining area, and adjoining conference facility of the saloon, the hot springs in the teepee and bath house, massage and yoga rooms in the Pony Express Stop, the bank of the West Fork of the Dolores, the waterfall, and the library. Some cabins have direct feeds from geothermal springs.
Dunton Hot Springs is the only thing that passes for a town for an hour and a half's drive in any direction in fine spring weather. This pleasing remoteness — twenty-two miles up an ascending dirt road lined with aspen groves and Ponderosa pine above three-hundred foot drops to the West Fork of the Dolores River — reveals to the intrepid a nineteenth century miners' retreat of hand-hewn logs in a rolling meadow at the headwaters of a river basin that falls away to the Four Corners, where Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico intersect in a red desert once contested by the Ute and the Navajo. From Johnny Bull, one of the lower peaks above Dunton, one can see all the way to Ship Rock, a black volcanic butte that rises from the desert floor in the part of the Navajo Reservation that extends into New Mexico.
