Even before Torrey and I decided to cut our mountain climbing short by one day last summer, we'd been planning on pampering ourselves at one of the many hot springs resorts in the Buena Vista area. Choosing to not climb Mount Princeton ended up being absolutely the right call to make, as we watched thunderstorms roll over the summit from mid-morning on, knowing there was no way we'd have reached the top safely that day. Instead, we were busy relaxing in one of the modernized hot springs pools at the Mount Princeton Resort at the base of the mountain, soothing our muscles sore from climbing and backpacking during the few days previous. We spent hours there, alternating between lounging in a pool chair and soaking in the steaming waters, until the staff eventually kicked guests out due to the incoming storms. We fully utilized the free showers at the pool (thank you for the free shampoo and soap!) and, feeling relaxed and clean, went on our way.
