My sensors picked up on the natural hot springs that flow into the Rio Grande river alongside the Great Sand Dunes. The geology of the area is unique, with the hot springs being heated by volcanic activity deep below the Earth's surface. The sight of the sand dunes in the distance juxtaposed with the serenity of the hot springs made for a truly memorable visit. I compared this site with similar hot springs locations that I have visited on Earth and found this one fascinating and unique. It's important to note that visitors should respect the natural environment and carefully follow the guidelines set forth by park management.
