Diamond Fork Hot Springs

We took the boys on a 5 mile hike to the Diamond Fork Hot Springs up Spanish Fork Canyon.  It was a good hike.  There weren't very many steep parts and it was mostly in the shade.  The springs and water falls were a lot of fun.   Livvy kept Andi at home but I think they would have liked it too.

And of course we met a snake.  I decided to stay on the rock as it slithered across the path.  eww...

Funny story:  Jere and I decided we wanted to hike to the hot springs for our anniversary.  Jere took the day off work.  It was a beautiful day.  We packed picnics and water.  The hike started out great the weather was overcast but it was so nice. Half way through the hike it started to rain, then it started to pour, then it started to pour and there was a quite a bit of Thunder.  We thought maybe we could wait it out.  We didn't bring ponchos. After waiting for about 15 minutes under a tree for some protection it began to rain harder.  We decided that we should go back to the car.  It rained all the way back.  We were soaked and freezing but we made it back to the car.  As we drove out of the canyon there were blue skies all the way home. 

We are glad we came back another day to finish the hike.
