There's something in the water
It’s lithium…magnesium and potassium. For centuries people have been making trips here to taste the magic and mystery of the healing waters. American Natives considered the land around the water sacred and the natural carbonation in the water the “breath of the Great Spirit, Manitou.” It is said many tribes from different areas put down their weapons in hopes of gaining health and wellness.
