Fifth Water Hot Springs near Spanish Fork
I am really new to this forum - so forgive me if I don't know my way around yet! I've been in Utah about 6 months. Enjoying it {though a bit of an adjustment}. My partner and I did a hike to the beautiful Fifth Water Hot Springs near Spanish Fork! We found all 5 geocaches on this hike as well ... including a REALLY FUN one that was 25 feet up a tree. I took a few pictures of the springs themselves:
It was really a lovely hike! I am currently residing in South Jordan - so now I wonder ... what's next? What other great hikes are out there? I've been up to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon - and also to Albion Basin out by Alta Ski Resort. My favorite so far has been the Hot Springs, t hough :-)
I am also REALLY looking forward to some snowshoeing and hopefully cross country skiing - although I am a novice at both!

Nice looking hot springs up there, so did you take some time to sit in them? It looks as though people have built it up a bit to make for a better soak.
Two wheels are better than four, keep the rubber side down.

I only went once. I didn't even soak. I hiked my drum in and jammed on that throughout the night while the nude bathers did their thing.
It's nice to see it in the daylight. Thanks for the pics.Lost On A Hill

We didn't actually see any nude bathers, lol. Just families ... in Swimsuits! But there was a big sign on the fence with a "warning." Maybe they only come out at night?
That is a pretty excellent idea about hiking in a drum to bang on in the moonlight. That would be super-cool.
