Hot Sulpher Springs, CO, 9/30 + 10/1/12

 After leaving the Rocky Mountain National Park, we stopped for lunch at the historic Grand Lake Lodge, on the southwest side of the Park. We took a short, but lovely hike on the Adams Falls trail before heading to our destination of Hot Sulpher Springs, CO for a day of soaking.





 Our room at the Hot Sulpher Springs Resort. It had direct access to the 20+ pools at the resort - all filled directly with mineral water from the area mountains. Each pool varied in size, water temperature, water content and colors, and were all delightful to try out.
This is the view from our room. 




 This pool was one of the larger pools and had its own waterfall. The Ute Indians discovered and used these water sources and claimed that they could cure disease and prevent aging.

This shows how the pools are all positioned within the natural landscape. We thought these was a great way to end our side-vacation in the Rockies, soaking our bodies after our long hikes. It also eased the tension after weeks of traveling and transitioning. Ahhhhh.
