Mineral hot springs are geothermal features that many resorts have been built around. Glenwood Springs for example, has two huge pools fed by a natural hot spring. There are many natural hot springs in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Around the world, for thousands of years and in many different cultures, soaking in hot water has been enjoyed by many.
It's one of the common threads we all share. It's one of the pleasures of being human. If you're a human being, it feels GREAT to soak in hot water when your body is aching. If you live in Colorado, where people have so many options for fitness and recreation, one may find oneself overdoing it a bit. And that was my situation returning from our mountain get away. We had spent a few days with a canoe on a gorgeous, pristine mountain lake. Purple mountain majesties towering above us. We were out twice the first day, then 3 times the next. Even past dark to watch a nearly full moon rise on the lake. While being novice canoers we over did it. Sore is a mild way to put it.
When finally home we indulged ourselves in a mind blowing, pain relieving soak in our spa that made our Colorado getaway perfect. A spa in our back yard is like having access to a hot spring resort 24/7, all year long. We love it!! After all, we're only human.
