210.0. "Valley View weekend" by SSDEVO::RICHARD (Defender of Moral Turpitude) Fri Dec 15 1989 14:00

We spent a wonderful weekend at Valley View.  Since it was so close to 
Christmas, the place was mostly deserted - I don't think there were more than
15 people there at any time.  The weather was very cold and overcast, which
made the pools all the more enjoyable, not to mention the sauna.  I made it
up to the top pool twice, the second time at night, during which an almost
full moon cast a wonderful silvery glow through the thin overcast.  The Friday
sunset was nothing short of spectacular.  The overcast broke up to the south-
west, and a lower thin line of clouds was caught by the sun.  For about 15
minutes there was a brilliant range of colors from gold to deep violet, which
we were able to see from our cabin window.  Needless to say, we all poured 
outside and shivered while taking it in, for a few minutes.  I was in the
middle of cooking dinner, so I could only take in brief glimpses, but was
still awestruck.  Saturday night was similar, but not as intense, as the
overcast was lower in the southwest.

Just thought you would like to hear that.

The top pool is usually hotter than the party pool.  This year both are down
a few degrees.  The party pool was only around 87-88, while the top was
around 92.  The top pool rises to the high 90's during late summer/early fall.
That's when it's the best.  I've never seen the top pool too cold to enter,
however the two meadow pools along the same stream, at the top of the camping
areas, are probably too cold during the winter.

210.3Try it barefoot!GENRAL::KILGORECoyote Clan MemberWed Dec 20 1989 15:0913
When the weather gets cold enough, almost ANY water temp is going to better 
than being out of the water.  ;-)  I've been in all the pools in the dead 
of winter at VV, even the meadow pools, and found the temps to be quite 
satisfactory.  So far, the goosebumps haven't been frozen into permanent 
formation.  :-)  

I remember one winter I didn't wear any robe or other apparrel while walking 
between the pools.  I was even barefoot and sober!  Of course, I didn't 
attempt going to the top pool in that condition!  ....  Not sure I'd do it
again but it was fun at the time.  There were only 1 or 2 other sets of
people there during that weekend.

    One nice thing about the pools at Valley View is the temperature.
    When I was there with Judy and her husband, Bob, we soaked in there
    for 4 hours and it never felt too warm that we got tired from it.
    The cool mountain air and the warm water made it perfect for staying
    all day if we didn't get hungry and if the sun didn't go down.
    The only problem is getting out; it's COLD!  The breeze made it very
    cold, so a thick robe is perfect for the occasion.

210.7I want to go back!SSDEVO::RICHARDDefender of Moral TurpitudeWed May 23 1990 17:476
Have a good time.  I was there for two days last week.  If you are planning an
excursion to the top pool, check with Neil or Terry.  The temperature was down
to 79 deg. due to the runoff.  It usually doesn't warm up until mid-summer.
Wish I could go with you.
