Soak in Fifth Water Hot Springs

Itinerary tips

• 1Plan for a 4.5-mile round-trip hike and allow at least 3 to 4 hours to account for soaking time and the elevation gain.
• 2Pack sturdy, waterproof hiking boots as the trail often becomes muddy or icy during the late fall and winter months.
• 3Bring a plastic bag for your wet swimwear and a headlamp if you plan on soaking during the early morning or evening hours.
• 4Arrive at the Diamond Fork trailhead before 8:00 AM on weekends to secure a spot in the limited parking area.
• 5Check the UDOT website for seasonal road closures, as the gate to the primary trailhead typically closes once heavy snow begins.
• 6Carry at least one liter of water per person to stay hydrated, as the geothermal heat and sulfur can lead to quick dehydration.
