Aspiring writer, I am probably in the rocky mountains or in the red rock deserts. Good days are spent in the sun and good nights are spent under the stars.Trying to make every day an adventure. Missoula living and Colorado grown.

Hey guys, Found a whole lot of trash that wasn't there two years ago today. Let's make sure people are packing out and we are picking up up. Bring an extra bag and pickup some trash if you are go, even the micro trash, small pieces of paper and such!!!

It is gorgeous up at the springs, but super busy and somewhat polluted with waste. Also make sure not to bring dogs. I got kicked out and fined. The ranger presence is heavy up by the springs, and they will fine you for not following rules! Make sure to also bring a bear canister or you can get fined. Going on a week day would be best, otherwise I would suggest starting super early to make sure you can get a camp spot near the springs. The hike is pretty easy just long, and the wild flowers are prime. We also saw a moose family, and a bear on the trail and near it. As long as you aren't searching for solitude, you should enjoy this trip.
