You’ve heard people say that there is something healing about being in nature, but if you are like me, you took that in a more metaphorical sense than something that can physically heal you… but what if such a place in nature actually existed? According to several Coloradans, that place is right here in our own backyard, thanks to these pure and healing Colorado waters:
Deep in the woods of Arapaho National Forest, Uncle Charlie's Ranch and the one-of-a-kind Wideawake Spring.
Morgan opened the spring to the public in 2003 and it quickly became a popular destination for those looking to take a soak in the makeshift tubs or purchase a few gallons of the super-pure water to take home.
The age and location of the water supply contribute to its purity. The spring has remained largely untouched by pollutants like trace radiation, acid rain, and other man-made impurities that are found in 90% of the planet's water resources.
In addition to the healing waters (which have been said to have cured everything from bad sunburns to chronic illness), Uncle Charlie’s offers a quiet and secluded place to camp, making it the perfect place to get away from it all.
There are also RV and camper sites on the property.
Uncle Charlie is so confident in his spring that he allows visitors to not only come stay on the land but also try the water for themselves (starting at $5 per gallon).
