"Never test the depth of river with both feet" - Warren Buffet• Natural hot springs• 4.5 miles out n' back• Year-round access• Fun day trip from Salt Lake City or Park City
These are some of the best hot-springs in Utah and are only a short drive from Salt Lake City. If you are looking for a micro adventure that doesn't require much packing or physical work, this is an adventure for you.
Drive and park at the trailhead, where there are bathrooms for your use. Continue up the well-maintained trails, parallel to the river, for a little over 2 miles. You may feel like you're in Southern Utah one minute with the red dirt, and in the deep forest another minute with tight trees towering above.
Cross a bridge about half-way and make your way up to the hot-springs. The gleaming turquoise blue pools will take your breath away as you turn the corner. Continue up the trail to explore several different pools and waterfalls.
The pools are generally about 97 degrees and this trail is dog friendly! Our dogs loved the pools and chilled out in the water while we drank a cold one.
The hot-springs are open year-round, however access is more difficult in the winter months.
