On Sunday Phil and I went to Glenwood Springs Colorado. Its about a 1.5 to 2 hour drive from Meeker. It is a must place to stop when you come to Colorado! There is a lot of history and, vapor caves and this hot springs pool. It is filled and heated by the natural hot springs water. Water is added to cool it and they do use chlorine, but it is filled with minerals. It is HUGE... and its hottest on the east end (the therapy pool) and cools as it gets deeper and flows west.

I love the red rock mountain sides
Lots of breweries in Colorado! I had the Hanging Lake Honey Ale and Phil had the Vapor Cave IPA

Glenwood is also where Doc Holliday died from TB in 1887. His grave is here too.
I love the movie Tombstone... Val Kilmer... sigh....
