Fifth Water hot springs, Utah. soaking in heaven

Have you ever been to a natural hot springs?
I've been to about 4 different hot springs and now it has become a must to seek out the ones close by when traveling through. This one?  Relaxation level: PRO
I've even heard many stories about the healing powers that water heated by the earth can have on a body due to the minerals found in it. I have even felt it for myself! Relaxed while soaking, rejuvinated when stepping out. I've even met some people dead set on it and religioulsy attending natural springs on a daily basis. Some even base their travels around Natural hot springs, which isn't a bad idea!

This one for instance (Fifth Water, or Diamomd Fork hot springs) is right outside of Salt Lake City Utah. It has both, manmade pools that are fed by PVC from hotter parts of the springs, and naturally fed pools. This place got it all, smimming, hiking trails, camping spots, the worx, but It does yend to be a populated and a well known place during prime parts of the year, like when i was there.

The reason i want to share this place with other people, is because it gave me a feeling of "unrealness" - for a lack of better term. You can. And i did, sit under a cold running waterfall, while sitting in the heated water beneath you. It's also a perfect scenic 2 1/2 mile hike to get there, and it rewards you with free camping sites, and the springs are free too! Pack it in, pack it out tbough!. It really is an experience to be had seeing nature clash like that to make something so unique. And colorful too, so lets keep it that way!
