Hike & Soak in Goldbug Hot Springs

02/27/18

Went here for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Drove up through Stanley and got worried that there would be too much snow! However, there was only an inch or so and it was lovely. The first mile and a half of the hike is very easy with a slight uphill rise to the trail. The last 1/2 miles or so is very steep so be prepared, but it shouldn't be too hard for anyone. It was about 20 degrees outside when we went and the pool I chose was the second highest one (as the top pool was occupied) The water was a comfortable 103ish degrees by my estimate. I highly recommend this trip (though maybe camp near by if you are coming from Boise as its a long day trip).
