Fifth water hot springs Diamond Fork Canyon
Diamond Fork Hot Spring, or Fifth Water Hot Spring, as it is also known by is a great outing in the Wasatch Front. Access requires a 2.5 mile hike each way, but the reward is a fabulous natural hot spring in a very forested and beautiful setting. Temperatures of the pools can range up to 108 F, with several great soaking pools in a variety of cooler temps. The upper pools are the hottest.
Diamond Fork Hot Spring is a prime choice for a winter excursion. The trail is usually well packed, but ice gripping treads can be useful. Snowshoes are only needed right after a heavy snow before the trail has been packed down by traffic
