My husband & I are planning our covid-19 safe RV rental 2nd Anniversary road trip around the links we followed on your article of CO things to do before the summer ends. In particular – hot springs!! We knew we wanted to explore areas we had yet to visit…& this gave us location, Nat’l Park proximity & options for a couple hot springs that should feel AMAZING in gorgeous early October! Thanks for a great idea…
So happy to hear, Cindy! Thanks for sharing.
