Soda Springs is a city in Caribou County, Idaho, United States.

[6] The springs were known to Native Americans, and were a landmark along the Oregon Trail in the middle 19th century.

They drilled into a chamber of highly pressurized carbon dioxide gas and cold water, and the geyser erupted.

After running for weeks and flooding the downtown area it was capped and then manually released, at first upon request, as a tourist attraction.

Viewing platforms are located at either end of the travertine mound where the geyser erupts.

[7] Soda Springs is also the location of one of the Ground Observer Corps sites.

[8] Soda Springs experiences a continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with long, cold, snowy winters and cool summers.

28.2% of all households were made up of individuals, and 12.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
