Valley View Hot Springs, CO

This is the high pool, the warmest natural pool--right next to the source.

The pinon desert frozen.

A view of the San Luis Valley, in southern Colorado. The hot springs are set into the Sangre de Cristo Range with a view of the western mountains and southern valley extending down into NM.

Warmth escaping from the earth below.

From the source the hot springs trickled down to the buildings and swimming pool that made up the lodging.
