As soon as we rounded the corner for the springs the stench of sulphur hit our noses. I was disappointed to see a lot of litter and graffiti amongst this otherwise peaceful natural setting.Īlong the way, we saw a number of people returning from the springs, so we were hopeful that it would be somewhat empty by the time we arrived. We started making our way on the 3 mile trail towards the springs (6 miles round trip), walking along the river, and over some hills. The parking lot was full at 4ish on a Monday.

As soon as we arrived, I could tell that this was a popular spot. We drove through meandering hillsides until we got to the parking area for the Diamond Fork springs. Plus, we were ready to relax and rest after a crazy adventure in Utah. It looked like a magical oasis in the middle of a forest and I knew that we had to try and go. Online I had seen pictures of this hot spring with light blue water and deep pools. We spent a few nights in parking lots, but it was worth it for the awesome experiences we had.ĭylan and I decided to go on an adventure to yet another hot springs. We started the week in the Salt Lake area where we decided to do a lot of work and explore a couple unique natural areas nearby.

Where We Went: Salt Lake, Bonneville Salt Flats, Great Basin & Pinnacles
