We rode across the dam at the end of the reservoir to get back on to Highway 9. A big wide shoulder made riding easy. Two game crossings made it also safe for us from elk and deer. Kremmling was our morning stop where Eric helped a Continental Divide Racer pump up her tire and get on her way. From Kremmling we followed the headwaters of the Colorado river for the rest of the day. The views of the river with the large horse packing group made me almost want to switch my method of transport! An incline with tall canyon walls took us up to Sulfur Hot Springs. We spent part of the day at the Springs which were started in 1864. They have 18 different pools with temperatures ranging 118 to 98. We spent time in the mineral pools that help restore muscles! At the one small burger and shake establishment we met Rick, who was riding west to east. We exchanged info on road conditions and lodging. It is helpful. One rider, Jaz, that we met earlier found us there. He recognized Eric's Hard Rock hat!
As we are camping nearby, we are headed back for an evening dip at the springs before climbing into our tents.
