This hike was a bit tiring since we backpacked in 10 miles and out 10 miles the next day. The creeks were low as we haven’t had much rain so crossing all of them was quite easy. I went one time when the water was really high and it was super dangerous to cross those creeks! So check the weather before you go. This second trip was in December and it was quite hot. You could bring water shoes if you don’t want to get wet. The hot springs water gets funneled into a man made tub so it feels like you’re in a jacuzzi. We camped right at the bottom before the hot springs. There aren’t any markers, so just make sure you follow along the creek.

Great hike! Did it a couple yrs back. But lots of switchbacks and rattle snakes. Makes sure to bring plenty of water and something warm at night bc it gets cold. My group almost ran out of water and one person got heat exhaustion. But 10/10 would do again - cool hot springs & there was a small cabin to sleep in (nothing fancy haha)
