Essentials
don't be fooled by the "for sale" signs. The Villa Grove trading post is usually open. This place has a little of everything. a simple diner, hot coffee, ice cream bars, a few basic connivence store items, the Crestone Eagle newspaper. I'm not sure about wifi?

My favorite hotspring. 3 pools at various temps. showers. They also have an ice cream selection and snacks you can pick up if your looking for a treat. I believe its 15$ for admission. not exactly "NIGHT LIFE" but this hot spring is open till about 10..making it one the few places open past 8 in the San Luis valley. Stars and springs mix quite well. Bring your towel.
