Penny Hot Springs access provides a day-use parking area on Highway 133 (approximately 3.

2 miles north of Redstone near mile marker 55) with limited capacity for about 20 vehicles and a short, steep rocky descent to primitive pools along the Crystal River's west bank.

The site offers free public access year-round, though spring snowmelt can flood the pools and raise river levels, making access unsafe; summer and fall are optimal visiting times.

A porta-potty is available, but visitors must pack out all waste, and swimming attire is officially required despite occasional non-compliance.
