I love hot springs! I got a wild hair a few weeks ago and took off down the road to my favorite, natural hot springs in Ridgeway. Clothing optional.

There are many streams, mountains, valleys, and mountains to travel through to get to my destination.

Muddy Creek and Mount Lamborn lead my way

I travel through my old hometowns and into places where I have fond memories of people and places.

Fine murals in Montrose

As the weather does what it does, I embrace it and know it won’t make a difference to how much I enjoy my soak.

Orvis Hot Springs Resort awaits

If you go, be assured the fences keep this a private and secure soaking resort.

No cameras allowed, so no photos of my 4-hour soak. There are rooms to rent, but I chose to head back north for a treat and cup-a-java in Ridgeway.

Cimarron Coffeehouse

Then, I made arrangements to visit old friends in Delta for dinner and a night of rest before heading home. On my way the weather added more excitement!

My final destination for the day, flanked by Grand Mesa. See you next time, on my Journeys Out Yonder.
