After a summer of finding places to hide from the heat, the weather has turned! Fall is in the air and snow is on the Utah peaks! We are headed south towards Salt Lake City and found a campground at Crystal Hot Springs. It is now “off season” and the park is virtually empty. Of the 70 odd sites there are only a few other campers. We set up the Wee Rover and head over to soak. Ahhhhh…just what we needed.
The springs have a long history, from Native Americans, to WWII vets returning to recuperate from injuries. Today, the springs draw people from all over the world for the reported healing powers of the water’s high mineral content. Seeing just how ill many of our fellow soakers were reminded us, again, how fortunate we are. We planned on a 1 night pass through, but stayed 3 nights!
