Information on Soda Springs:

Soda Springs is celebrating. Founded in 1935, Soda attracted early day adventurers outfitted in laced leather boots with wooden skis. Soda Springs was a popular destination accessed primarily by train.

Much has changed since those early days. Chairlifts have replaced tows and travel is convenient on multi-lane Interstate 80.
