The sweat lodge is based on a traditional American Indian ritual. Volcanic rocks are heated in a wood fire and transferred to the lodge. Water is poured over the glowing hot rocks to create steam and herbs are sprinkled over the stones. After 20-30 minutes of profusely perspiring, guests can take a dip in a cold tub and then transfer to the hot tub. The hot and cold tubs are stock feed tanks that accommodate two persons. The hot tub is heated by a Chofu, a Japanese wood stove. An outdoor shower completes the complex. After a day of hiking or other physical activity, can you imagine anything more revitalizing?
