As a Colorado resident I have been fortunate to have visited several of the larger, more popular area hot springs. My search for new hot springs experiences led me to Wambach's "Touring Colorado Hot Springs." This book is well organized and lists the springs according to the region of Colorado where they are found. The included maps are clear and easy to read. Especially helpful information I found to be the "Best Secluded Locations", "Best Family Locations" and "Best Character Locations" section of the book. I found this book so good that I have now ordered 4 more copies to give as gifts.

This book was exactly the same as the other book by George, only George's book included more springs. It was somewhat informative, even though all the information is 10 years old. Unfortunately for me, I found a website that has all the same information included in the book, so there really is no need to buy it unless you want all that information in a binding. The most disappointing thing was that no pricing information was included. Mr. Wambach should have realized that the price is one of the most important factors for most people, especially since some springs are $10/day and others cost hundreds. The book was useful in finding things to do in the area, if you can pull yourself away from the pools long enough to do something else. Sure would like to see a guide with the prices included. It would also be fantastic if a newer guide were written.

Thought the cover looks fresh, the content is outdated. A number of the hot springs featured in the book have changed names, been expanded, etc. A new edition of this book needs to be published!
