Hot sulphur springs

A different kind of high country here. We’re not in the jagged spectacular Creede kind of high country. We’re in the high mountain valley with the Colorado River flowing through it kind of high country. Seven thousand feet, rolling hills, ranchland, river bottom, the jagged snow covered peaks are way off in the distance.

Hot Sulphur Springs is a small mountain town, but not a dirt road main street town. Main Street is paved and has a center stripe. Some of the side streets are even paved. Highway 40 passes right through on its way from Granby to Kremmling. You could guess by the name of the town, that there might be some hot springs here as well, and you’d be right. A nice resort that has been here since the 1800s. Twenty-three pools and tubs, rooms, patios, grass, picnic benches, and lots of stairs connecting everything, all alongside the river.
