Q. Where does the hot water come from?
A. Our natural spring, called the Yampah spring, is located at the eastern most end of our property. It has a daily flow of 3,500,000 gallons of water, at approximately 122° F, or 51° C. The source for the Yampah spring is water percolated through fractures in the bedrock formation and into the Leadville aquifer. As this occurs the water is heated by the geothermal gradient in the area. The source of water for the spring is from south of the Colorado River in the Lookout Mountain and Grand Hogback areas.
