Maggie's Hill is on the southwest edge of Hot Sulphur Springs. An
announcement in the local paper, January 1949 stated the rope tow would
be in operation every Saturday afternoon from 1 to 5 and all day Sunday.
Admission was fifty cents. The hill appears to have been in use from the
post WWII years through the 1950s. To reach the site, turn south off U.S.
40 onto Hemlock Street. A brown house at the intersection of Hemlock
and Ridgeway Avenue marks the site of the base area and drive terminal.
Two rope tow towers are still in place on the left side of the hill. The tow's
drive motor can be seen at the Grand County Museum.
