Iron Mountain Hot Springs opens new pool area for ages 21 and older

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:33:14 GMT

People are lining up to enjoy a soak at the Iron Mountain Hot Springs and their newest attraction, the Upriver upgrade, which opened June 30.The 21 and older section is only $10 more than the regular price and includes “experience pools” with mineral recipes from around the world. Annual passholders 21 and older can access the new pools at no additional charge.The new section features two freshwater pools, a cold plunge pool and some people’s favorite perk — no children. Specific wristbands are given to guests who are of age and pay for the Upriver section and a gate separates the sections requiring the guests to scan their wristband to open the gate. Guests can go back and forth between the two sides, since they are paying for the full experience, and the local hot spring company wouldn’t want you to miss out on the natural spring water they are known for.

Can beavers help save California from climate change?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:33:14 GMT

For years, beavers have been treated as an annoyance for chewing down trees and shrubs and blocking up streams, leading to flooding in neighborhoods and farms. But the animal is increasingly being seen as nature's helper in the midst of climate change.California recently changed its tune and is embracing the animals that can create lush habitats that lure species back into now-urban areas, enhance groundwater supplies and buffer against the threat of wildfires.A new policy that went into effect last month encourages landowners and agencies dealing with beaver damage to seek solutions such as putting flow devices in streams or protective wrap on trees before seeking permission from the state to kill the animals. The state is also running pilot projects to relocate beavers to places where they can be more beneficial. Two beavers swim in Napa Creek, Wednesday, July 19, 2023, in Napa, Calif.
