The afternoon of Deer Valley, we also drove down to Midway, Utah to explore a mineral pool at the Homestead Resort that was described in a past issue of Ski magazine.? Strange formation, rock domes covering natural heated pools of water.? There are several in the area, and in fact the area used to be named Mound City.? They teach SCUBA diving there.? Main pool is 65' deep, but one of the divers said that they have dived down to a hole in the bottom at 65 feet and then dropped a weight through and 300' of line wasn't enough reach the real bottom.

Interesting to have visited it one time, but not all that enjoyable.? Strawberry Springs at Steamboat was much hotter water and a much nicer ambience, multiple pools of varying temperature and great scenery (and the afternoon we went there it was snowing a little bit).
