Soaking In The Springs

Let's take a day and go to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs - and that's just what friend Jan and I did!!  After grabbing an excellent cup of coffee in Florissant, we headed to Buena Vista to spend a couple of hours soaking!


The day was gorgeous with just a slight breeze - there wasn't much snow over there which was surprising!  The water felt great and after a while in the cooler pool we moved to the hot pool!  Yes, it was hot!!  Hotter than we keep our hot tub!  After about 15 minutes there, we climbed the steps from the water right into the hallway to the lobby!  I went through the door first with Jan right behind me.  Just as I turned to say something to her, it looked to me like she tripped, falling against the wall in front and then flat on the ground!!  I started yelling that we needed some help and the counter guy immediately came around the corner, grabbed some towels to put under her head and she came to about 15 seconds later..............

Apparently she was just in that hot water too long and after she stood up, her blood pressure must have dropped too fast and she went down!!  When she came to her first words to me were "Why am I on the floor?"   She didn't remember going down at all!!  Except for a scraped elbow where she hit the wall, she was fine and was so embarrassed about it happening!!

We stayed out of the hot pool and headed down to the creek so we could sit in it for a while since this was the first time Jan had been to this hot springs and the water was great there!!

We walked over to the adult side (not available unless you stay at the hot springs or pay an extra fee) after dressing back in our street clothes so Jan could see what that was like and then after a great lunch, headed on home!

So except for Jan's light headedness, a great day at the hot springs!!
