DUNTON HOT SPRINGS
COLD WEATHER ACTIVITIES
Winter is a magical time to visit Dunton. Cold shifts the rhythm of the valley. Days shorten, weather leads, and plans stay flexible. Strap on a pair of snowshoes and explore the serene San Juan Mountains, or climb into Dunton's very own Snow-cat and scale to 10,000 feet for a day of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. As the season deepens, evenings gather indoors. Fires burn longer, meals stretch, and afternoons are spent nestled by the fire. You have the opportunity to do as much or as little as you choose.
Skiing follows meadow crossings and wooded trails near Dunton. Routes offer quiet time on snow-shaped ground. Outings range from short loops to longer days further out.
