Summer is just around the corner!
There's nothing like summer in Colorado! So take your adventures to the next level this season with these three secret swimming holes, and don't forget to lace up those hiking boots and bring a swimsuit!
Devil's Punchbowl - Aspen
One of the most scenic pools of water in Colorado, this is a must-visit location. Located just past mile marker 50 on Independence Pass, Devil's Punch Bowl features crystal clear, emerald water and impressive cliffs. An outcropping of large rocks forms the "punchbowl" where pools of water converge from the Roaring Fork River.
Warning: If you choose to cliff-jump, use extreme caution and jump at your own risk.
Adrenaline Falls - Durango
Only a select few non-locals actually know the trail to this beautiful waterfall. If you're trying to get to this idyllic location, you'll likely need to consult a local Durango resident. For many, jumping from the cliffs of Adrenaline Falls is a rite of passage, and they'll have safety tips to help you navigate the falls and surrounding area. If you aren't feeling up to cliff-jumping, you can still relax in the water and take in the sight of the gorgeous waterfall.
Warning: If you choose to cliff-jump, use extreme caution and jump at your own risk.
Guffey Cove - Guffey
Also known as Paradise Cove, this Colorado hidden gem is calling your name. Escape the heat this summer by taking the short, one-mile hike to the swimming hole. Lay back, relax, and let that beautiful Colorado nature sink in.
Warning: If you choose to cliff-jump, use extreme caution and jump at your own risk.
