Here’s some fascinating information about Soda Dam Hot Springs.
Although a natural wonder, Soda Dam is pungent. It reeks of rotten eggs, and I’m curious about how people dare to swim in its waters. I suppose the mineral content makes it beneficial for health, but I can’t help but be overwhelmed by its unpleasant odor!

My family owns a cabin right next to Soda Dam, my great grandfather built it for his grandkids, and never imagined his great grandkids would play there! We grew up climbing on/around Soda Dam. The smell is definately an aquired taste, so to speak! I have to admit, I love it! 😉 The cabin is a little red one, slightly past the Dam, and it sits right on the river.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane. Your photos are beautiful.
