Tourist Adventure: Part One
I realized that I did so much last weekend and haven't updated any of it. It hardly pertains to my dinosaur study/certification, but it does with my dinoAdventure.
I decided to do the tourist-y things in the Hot Springs State Park and walked past the Teepee Spa, hot springs bathhouse, and another hot springs pool. Behind these buildings is a path around the original hot springs that flow into the river. The springs had hot multi-colored water, surrounded by rock that looked like crusted sand dunes.
This leads right to a swinging bridge that, as the name suggests, swings and bounces as you cross the river.
From there we saw more hot springs and learned their chemical make-up.
Almost everything is in walking distance (if you don't mind walking about a mile). You can go to the Thermopolis website to ask for a brochure of these and other tourist sites. They will also send you a map. In most Thermop museums or hot tourist spots, there are also these brochures.

That water sure looks inviting!!! Hope you got an opportunity to cross the swinging bridge. It reminds me of the Forbbiden Bridge.
I did go across the bridge and it was kind of like the game, but it had a sturdier railing.
