Any person/tribe that came in peace was welcome to stay there. It was a respected place of peace and healing. Many tribes made an annual pilgrimage to this site, making spiritual offerings. The waters were named after a great spirit Manitou by the Ute tribe. There are also caves above these springs that howl and moan and sounding like the voice of a great spirit.

I can close my eyes and picture what it would have been like to stand there and feel all of this energy and peace.

Sadly, upon further reading I discovered that it became a popular tourist destination at some point and would you believe they've capped the springs and made fountains. Its so sad when they go and destroy the natural ambiance. That said I am sure much of it is still magnificent and some of that energy must remain.
