We had a wonderful dinner at Citizen Rail, meeting up with old friends we had not seen in many years. I enjoyed both the French rose and a chardonnay. The menu will change from time to time - but the lamb was 100% worth it, and the blueberry dessert was as tasty as it was beautiful. I would definitely recommend- they had some fun Cocktails here too.

Glenwood Hotsprings is excellent and worth the stop if you are in the area. They have an athletic club- I've not ever used that but seems cool. I've come here a few times when traveling through the area and it's not disappointing. They have large pools and one is hotter than the other - so you can definitely maintain whatever you need. They have some built in concrete like lawn chairs at one part with bubbling, and then these powerful water spots you can go in. There are swim lanes at one end too if you are into that. The towels are small - bring your own if you want a good towel! No food or drinks there. Very relaxing. As with any hot spring in this area you won't full escape the highway, sounds of traffic - you are basically right next to it. But it's not that bad. Worth going!

We have been meaning to go on this hike for many years and we're finally able to come to the area today, and did this hike to hanging lake as well as the additional sporting falls. It is SO worth it! Everything everyone says is true - it is quite steep most of the way but in distance its realisticly not far. Take your time and enjoy- it's beautiful the entire trail. But when you see this lake and the falls it's so serene and the water color is beautiful. Today we did not need our winter spikes or the extra clothing but we had them. Definitely go prepared- you can tell it can get snowy and wet and slick for sure.

Today we went to Iron Mountain for the first time and we are SOLD! It's so wonderful! I would recommend - 1) book in advance 2) we are here in November - bring a robe or buy one of theirs, and bring footwear or buy slippers - cement can be cold!
Okay - final advice, if youbare coming without kids, splurge for the pass for 21 and over pools! You enter a separate section and no kids, and you have that many more to pick from tonget away from over crowded pools.

I love the set up - lots of different pools of varying temperature, some have rocks at the bottom - we loved that! Many are facing the river, right next to it. It's beautiful and relaxing! I can't wait to come back!

Cafe central is a really worthwhile stop. Check out photos of some of the yummy display items and you will understand! I cane here because they have gluten free options and great coffee, being in town for business I just needed a quick grab and go. I had the avocado toast and their signature latte and it was just delightful. They seemed pretty popular when I went so many must agree with me. It's worth a stop!
