点评:3 friends and I parked all the way in the back of the parking lot, because it was absolutely full, which says something good about the springs. We walked in, and were helped quickly, and I used one of their punch passes, ($50 for 10 visits, limited 2 punches per day), and we paid for the rest of us, and we all got slides. We walked in, and got changed, and I hit up one of the pools before my friends were ready. Crystal hot springs has 1 massive, 2 spacious, and 2-3 small hot spring areas, two large water slides, as well as a regular chlorinated pool to cool off in.
The Hot Springs also has a large cave, the mouth of which is a waterfall set up, submerged to a depth of about a foot. My favorite part are the three small waterfalls in one of the spacious sections. They are cold, regular hot spring temperature, and piping hot! I love to cool off in the cold waterfall. The slides are fun, they're not the biggest, but they're far from small. The temperature in the slides are on the cooler side, so another option to cool off after some time in the Hot springs.
I love the feeling I get after going to Crystal Hot springs--Just full on relaxed. And besides the cold air greeting us on our way out, (which I consider nostalgic), we had a great time showering, changing, taking our stuff from the lockers, and heading out. I'm in my 20's, and I've been going to Crystal Hot Springs since I was a child, with a long drive to get there. I think Crystal Hot Springs keeps on getting better, and I hope to be able to take my future family there to enjoy what I have enjoyed my whole life!
PS: There is a fun fact that is located on one of the walls there: President Franklin Roosevelt used to use Crystal Hot Springs to help speed the recovery of wounded soldiers. They also have a wall full of pictures of other hot springs, if you're interested in visiting other places, like me!
翻译:我和三个朋友把车停在了停车场最里面,因为那里已经完全满了,这足以说明这家温泉有多棒。我们走进去,很快就有人接待了我们。我用了他们的打卡券(50美元可以玩10次,每天限用两次),其他人付了钱,我们都玩了滑水道。我们进去换好衣服后,我趁朋友们还没准备好,先去了一个泳池。水晶温泉有1个大型温泉区、2个宽敞的温泉区和2-3个小型温泉区,还有两个大型水滑梯,以及一个普通的氯化消毒泳池可以降温。
温泉还有一个大洞穴,洞口是一个瀑布,水下大约一英尺深。我最喜欢的是其中一个宽敞温泉区里的三个小瀑布。它们有的很冷,有的像普通温泉水一样,有的则非常烫!我喜欢在冰凉的瀑布里泡澡降温。滑梯很好玩,虽然不算最大,但也绝不小。滑梯里的温度比较凉爽,所以泡完温泉后,这里也是个不错的降温选择。
我喜欢每次去水晶温泉后的感觉——彻底放松。除了离开时迎面而来的凉风(我觉得这有点怀旧),我们都很享受淋浴、换衣服、从储物柜里取东西然后离开的过程。我二十多岁,从小就经常去水晶温泉,每次都要开车很远才能到。我觉得水晶温泉一直在进步,希望以后也能带我的家人去那里,享受我从小就喜欢的温泉!
附:温泉的一面墙上写着一个有趣的小故事:富兰克林·罗斯福总统曾经用水晶温泉来帮助受伤的士兵加快康复。他们还有一面墙贴满了其他温泉的照片,如果你像我一样对游览其他地方感兴趣的话!
