    Beautiful views, and very relaxing. It’s a fairly small pool there isn’t much to it. Just sit and soak and breathe the mountain air. The water does actually come from the mountain, but in the winter when natural flows are too low to fill the pool they add heated municipal water.

    Costly and the service was unimpressive. I paid a significant amount for my 2 sons to be admitted and was rudely asked to pay even though I only intended on watching them. I stayed in my automobile while they bathed in the hot springs.
