This is a classic hike to be sure, and it’s fun with a group of friends, but if you’re willing to travel just a bit further, there are much more rewarding and scenic hikes nearby.

Came here to shoot a timelapse of the sunrise and was not disappointed! Amazing view, and so easy to get to by car! If you’ve got the time and the road is open, be sure to continue past this point and drive the Alpine Scenic Highway!

Not a bad set of hot springs, but it has become somewhat of a tourist spot and has become crowded and dirty, at least when we visited. Still, not a bad choice if you want to go check out some hot springs but don’t have time to travel very far!

Came here on a rainy weekend in early April. The views were stunning and the water was so calm it was like glass. We had the place all to ourselves, with the exception of one lone kayaker. There are, however, some restrictions, particularly regarding dogs. Something to keep in mind. Overall a great little find- and only 30 minutes or so from downtown!
