Another local favorite, this spot is a nice choice that is just up the river from the main town center. Park at the corner of 7th St and Minter Ave, look toward the river, and you’ll find a trail headed toward the railroad tracks and a lovely welcome sign reminding you to pack out your trash. Cross the tracks and pick up the clear trail on the other side, turn right and head upstream. Two minutes later you’ll see a large pipe bridge crossing the river, and the first set of pools is directly below you on the river bank.
KEEP IN MIND: The photos taken were during a Colorado flood, hence the muddy high water. Spring runs on the hotter side, definitely more ideal for a winter soak.
