There is this one life to live wildly.

I recommend the kayak into the hot springs over the hike. While the hike version is an interesting traverse over desert land, the kayak in is magical and provides for multiple destinations. There are about 4-5 pools of different temperature, cooling downstream. A short ladder will bring you up to the pools from the river. It's a warm contrast to the cold Colorado. Go in early spring or late fall to avoid crowds.
