word to the wise...

This last saturday my roommate and I decided that we would host a trip to the hot springs.  We invited some friends and were all prepared for a good time.  Now, if you know the hot spring options around Utah County, you know that there are some in both Spanish Fork Canyon and Lehi.  We made the decision to go to Lehi.  This is where we went wrong.  Unless your idea of a good time in the hot springs includes floating dead fish, wading through mud puddles, and smelling like dead fish may I suggest to you that you make the trek down to Spanish Fork instead.  And don't let the 2.5 mile hike deter you.  Take my word on this one.  Granted we were able to make the best of it.  After sitting in the dreaded hot springs for about five minutes (ten tops) we decided that we had had enough and that we wanted a hot tub instead.  Hot tubs are much more sanitary.  So, to cleanse ourselves of the toxins that we were exposed to at the hot springs, we spend the majority of the evening relaxing in the nice, clean water of a hot tub.  

My advice to you is this:  unless you are feeling very adventurous, go to Spanish Fork and don't let the drawbacks of a hike or the possibility of people swimming around nude deter you.  Just don't do it.

it was the ones up by lehi/saratoga springs...i'm not exactly sure what they are called. but if you were to google it the website would tell you all about how often people visit and how community oriented it is. psh...right. haha :)
