Abandoned Sulphur Mine and Spa. Check out the little bubbling ponds but be aware of dizziness due to the gas coming out of the ground.

Sulphur Springs is a ghost town that once was home to a sulfur mine and spa. There is visible geothermal activity, so you could catch some bubbling ponds on your run by here, but beware of strong gases and fumes coming out of the ground.
