Soda Springs Complex
The natural fountains at "Beer Springs" were rightfully considered to be one of the marvels of the overland trails. Emigrants frequently took advantage of the hot water to wash clothes, and almost every emigrant account noted the picturesque scenery and the natural curiosities of the area.
This is indeed a curiosity. The water tastes like soda water, especially artificially prepared. The water is bubbling and foaming like boiling water. I drank of it. . . . We find it excellent for baking bread, no preparation of water is necessary. Take it from the fountain & the bread is as light as any prepared with yeast."
