Silverthorne to Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado (59 Miles)
This was a good day. The temps started out in the high 40’s and got up to a high of about 75. The great thing about today was the fact that we could do an “express.”
An express is a constant speed that can be maintained for a good period of time. We actually got up to speeds of about 25mph in spots.
Our ride got us to Hot Sulphur Springs…a place where people love to bathe in the water.
If anyone can appreciate a hot shower, they would more appreciate a dip in a hot spring.
Similar, but different…Here, within the community, there are at least 100 sulphur springs that are available for use.
Our ride into town has us following the starting area of the Colorado River.We went through a canyon that brought us into town.
We set up our tents in a campground that paralleled the Colorado River.
There I washed my clothes and washed my body in the Colorado River. Imagine that!!
Another once in a lifetime event that will remain as one of the highlights of this trip..
Steve…did you bathe???
I know we have separate tents, but…LOL!!!!
