Pretty easy to get to, going back up a snowy hill in our school bus became an issue though. I wouldn't bring a small rear wheel drive car though, some spots are pretty bumpy and can get muddy. Lots and lots of caves and big ravines to climb through. We didn't get even close to exploring all of them. Be careful on the rocks too.

The main hot pool was great. Very hot compared to the snow and you could go very deep if you wanted. Other large pool was also clear but not as hot, didn't go in that one. Didn't go to the third one. Only saw one other person there in the middle of the night in January.

Lots of old buildings like this in this area of Utah. This is by far one of the largest and most well preserved though, hopefully it never gets demolished.

It took us a few hours but we never got tired or anything as it was downstream. 6.6 miles and an elevation change of about 1000ft according to Strava. We went the day after heavy rains so some places the water went up to our waist but not very often. Waterfalls were somewhat technical but not too tricky even with carrying cameras, highly recommended unless you have little kids who can't really go through the water. Wear old tennis shoes with socks. Just hitched a ride back to chimney rock from a friendly guy.
