Fun Fact: Eldorado Pool

Described by many as the "Coney Island of the West," Eldorado Springs Resort was first opened for business on July 4, 1905. The early visitors to the resort came by train or horseback, with the Colorado and Southern Railroad operating eight trips per day during the summer season. So popular was the resort that two additional swimming pools were added, one in 1905 and the present pool in 1906. At that time it was advertised as the largest swimming pool in the country. { Image Credit to My Colorado Life }
