Hiking to Fifth Water Hot Springs – Utah
Distance: 4.5 miles roundtrip
Elevation Gain: 600 ft
Duration: 1 – 2 hours roundtrip
Difficulty: Easy
Fifth Water Hot Springs is my favorite hot springs because of its water color! The water is different shades of blue and green. We went in October and the leaves were autumn colors, so it was just a beautiful sight of colors all around.
The Hike
The trail starts at the parking lot on Diamond Fork Road. It’s a pretty flat trail that runs along the stream.
It will seem pretty long before you get to the hot springs since you’re pretty much just walking straight for a while. You’ll see a few small waterfalls, which means you’re getting closer.
Eventually you’ll get there and it’ll be beautiful, but packed with people. Luckily there’s a lot of pots so you can spread out. Some pots are hotter than others – it ranges from burning to cold, so hopefully you find a good one!
Location
Fifth Water Hot Springs is located a 1.5 hours drive south of Salt Lake City, Utah.
