About Activity
Headline: The Rocky Mountain Triple Threat: Tubing, Hot Springs & History
See, learn, and truly experience the Rockies—don't just drive past! Your day begins with the pure, high-altitude thrill of snow tubing. Feel the rush of the mountain air and the sound of laughter as you zip down groomed lanes with spectacular alpine views.
After your mountain tubing adventure, transition into total tranquility. Soak in natural, mineral-rich hot springs tucked away in a historic mountain town. These healing waters are nothing short of transformative, especially when surrounded by falling snow and rugged peaks. Refuel with a delicious lunch in the heart of a 19th-century mining district, where Victorian charm meets modern mountain flavor and local artisan stores.
The Best Part? We handle the planning, mountain driving, and reservations. You just bring the spirit of adventure.

Perfect way to experience winter in CO!403theresag
What a fun day! Tubing was the perfect way to experience the CO snow, especially for our family who doesn’t ski. The Echo Mountain Lodge was a cozy place to warm up with hot cocoa. We loved the hot springs- the changing rooms and lounge areas were very nice and had all the necessary amenities. The hot springs pool was sooo relaxing and surrounded by gorgeous tropical plants. We added in the vapor caves, which was a unique (and hot!) experience. CO Sightseer organized a wonderful experience and kept us entertained the whole time. Highly recommend!
Tubing in the morning. Then time at the hot springs. Then free time in Idaho Springs.S9452EUbens
Greatest day ever! Colorado Sightseer is the best. The tubing was a blast and the hot springs were so relaxing. Loved the free time in Idaho Springs. Our guide Christin was amazing. Can't recommend it enough.
