Breathtaking!

Well, got up on Saturday and surprisingly felt fine! Asher and I went to historical Basalt and walked around. Then to the Ruedi   am. What a beautiful drive along the Colorado River. I just can't stop taking pictures of the mountains and the water. Each and every one is more beautiful than the next! Stopped at many overlooks and roads off the beaten path to watch the people fly fishing and whitewater rafting.      

  

Today, Saturday got a slow and late start! Oh well, no biggie. Drove into Glenwood Springs and walked around the town. Lots of little shops and had lunch at a little cafe. I then went to the Iron Mountain Hot Springs! It was recommended to go to that one instead of the Glenwood Hot Springs. Glenwood has lots of kids and is attached to an amusement park, which you take a gondola to at the top of the mountain. Would like to have done that but got too late a start. The Hot Springs was wonderful! Interestingly there are about 6 Springs that make up this particular Hot Springs. The water comes in at about 118 degrees. They then cool the water for the different pools. There are many pools at different temperatures. Starting at 98 degrees, 100, 102, 103, 104,105, 106, 107,108. I started at 98 and worked my way up to 105. That's all I could do, was getting lightheaded. I guess between the altitude and the heat. Either way it was amazing. There are chairs and chaises all around with little water falls to listen too and the most amazing meditative music. You just don't want to leave..... the music is from Pandora SPA radio, which I am listening to now. Love it!!!!

    

Left there around 6:30PM totally and throughly relaxed! Perfect ending to my stay in this area. I move on tomorrow to Ouray, CO. Will let you know in a few days how it is! Nite, nite!
