We went to The Springs Resort to "take the waters." They have a series of pools fed by a hot mineral spring. By carefully running the water from one pool to the next, they can gradually lower the temperature of the water, and we can select the pool with the temperature we want. The name of the town, Pagosa Springs, takes its name from a native American word meaning "water with a strong smell." It does smell of sulfur, but it's mild enough that we thought of it as medicinal, and otherwise ignored it. We didn't get a miraculous cure of our bronchitis, but we did feel better after soaking for a few hours than we did when we came in. Of course, that could have been due to the antibiotics we're taking...

Note: I didn't bring my camera to The Springs Resort. This is a picture from their website.
