Two hikers rise at dawn for a "private" dip in a Colorado hot spring, but they are interrupted by an unexpected visitor.
A serene morning at a Colorado hot spring took an unexpected turn for a visitor recently when a moose decided to join the tranquil scene. The individual, who wished to remain anonymous, was enjoying a soak around 7 AM when the large animal approached the natural spring. "It was one of those moments where you freeze, not sure what to do," the participant recounted, describing the close proximity of the moose. Rather than fleeing, the individual maintained composure, remaining calm and still as the wild animal moved closer. The moose proceeded to the edge of the hot spring, where it was observed taking several sips of the water. Following its brief refreshment, the animal calmly departed, strolling down the mountain to continue grazing. The encounter, described as "one of the coolest, wildest moments" of the trip, underscores the unpredictable nature of wildlife in natural settings. No injuries or disturbances were reported, leaving the participant with a memorable story of sharing a Colorado hot spring with a formidable, yet peaceful, wild resident.
