Woke up early for a hike to the hot springs. I wasn’t feeling the best but I decided to try the hike. The hike to the springs started at around 9,200ft and climbed 900-ish feet over 3 miles. I was definitely out of breath as we hiked along, but luckily I wasn’t the only person struggling with the altitude. We hiked thru a valley full of ancient cacti and along a flowing river that made the valley floor lush with plants until we came to the springs where we went for a dip.
After that hike I was feeling pretty wiped out, my cold wasn’t any better and I didn’t think I should go on the afternoon hike. Jacob went but got rerouted due to rain to the hike he did the day before.
We he got back, we had a drink together and watched the sunset from the lodge. and then had dinner with our new friends that we made in the lodge.
