Description

Added by Rosie Davies

Beautiful hot springs tucked away in the mountains of Aspen.

One of the best hikes/backpacking trips I've ever been on. The hike in is approximately 8.5 miles, starting at an elevation of 8,700 feet and gradually climbing to 11,200 feet. The most difficult part of the hike is simply the distance, theres a couple semi-steep sections but nothing to extraneous. You truly get to see everything on this adventure: vast green meadows, snow-capped peaks, green forests, autumn colors, lakes, streams, and of course natural hot springs. As you near the hot springs you come across multiple camp-sites along the creek, which are on a first come first serve basis. Once you set up camp, its just a short little walk to the beautiful hot springs. Definitely recommend timing your hike so you can watch the sun go down while you enjoy a warm, rewarding soak. The hot springs are filled with nothing but good vibes. This adventure is definitely one for the books!
