Seriously love this hike!
As others have mentioned, do yourself a favor and prepare yourself!
I'm going to iterate a couple key points because I believe they make this hot spring hike more enjoyable for you (and others)!
-Make sure you have plenty of water. I suggest at LEAST 2 liters per person to be safe, especially in the warmer months.
-Bring lunch/snacks. You're looking at 4 total hours on average in the canyon if you start from the parking area and hike to the Colorado river and back.
-This should go without saying but please, take your trash out with YOU! It's the responsible thing to do. *Also, the cooler near the beginning of the hike is NOT for trash, it is designated for full bottles of water for other hikers that weren't prepared.
-Wear shoes with good traction because the rocks are sllliiipppeery even when they're not wet.
-Pack water shoes or sandals unless you are already wearing shoes you don't mind getting wet. The end of the hike is at the Colorado river and those rocks aren't fun to walk on barefoot.
Tips for hot springs:
-Don't get the water in nose/eyes/ears.
-Please don't pee in the hot springs! It's gross.
-Please don't blast your music. For some of us that appreciate tranquility and silence found in nature, your music comes off as obnoxious and inconsiderate.
This is a fun but dangerous hike. Take your time, be cautious, and be patient with yourself and others!
