Sightseeing
Soda Springs boasts having the world’s only captive geyser, erupting every hour on the hour. On November 30, 1937 in an attempt to find a hot water source for a local swimming pool, a well driller set free the natural geyser at a depth of 317 feet. It is located on Pyramid Spring, a travertine mound described by Fremont in his 1840s expeditions, along with other area springs. The history of Soda Springs and Caribou County is portrayed on picture boards in the Geyser Park Visitor Center. Historical artifacts and antiques are on display next door at the Enders Hotel Museum. Enter on Main Street & 1st Street South and drive 150 feet west to Geyser Park.

Things to Do
Very nice nine-hole course that is affordably priced. On the eighth hole you actually go across the Oregon Trail wagon train ruts. Play 9 holes for $37. Relatively flat course but very pretty.
