Granite Hot Springs

Granite Hot Springs
December 27, 2006

After skiing the Cache Creek trail and staying the night in Jackson, we got up early and headed over to Granite Hot Springs. We had our snow machines, and our AT gear (skis). It was snowing so hard though that conditions for exploring new ski terrain were not safe. So, we just rode the snow machine and played in Hot Springs. Great fun! Since Mandy and I really didn't feel like driving, we turned the wheel over to Tallulah. She's a little pokey, but she got us there in one piece.

Tallulah takes the wheel.

Tally shifts into gear. The great thing about automatic transmissions, is that they're fairly easy to use for younger drivers. With short legs though, it's kinda hard to go very fast... or stop.

Tally manages to stop though, using the car in front of her. Smart kid. Didn't even leave a mark!

Tallulah bundled up for the 9 mile snow machine ride into Granite Hot Springs.

Mom and Tally garbed in their sno-go gear near Granite Hot Springs. It was only about a 15 minute ride in. Lots of people and dog sleds along the way.

Mom and Tallulah pose for some more pics before taking a dip.

Tallulah tries out her very first hot springs.

Pretty cool stuff!

Tallulah loved it. A giant bath tub, filled with people- outside even. Haa, haa, haa!

The hot springs and the area really was amazing country. It was snowing really hard the whole time we were up there, so we could only get taste of what surrounded us. It was enough though, to understand there was some serious ski terrain around.

Check out this mountain. I guess I'll just have to go back sometime, when the weather is better.
