The original plan was to do some backpacking this weekend with the wife but with the recent storms we didn't want to deal with a lot of mud so we decided to keep things light, hang out at home and do a hike. The hike ended up being a short jaunt to Fifth water hot springs up Diamond fork canyon. The road up the canyon had changed from when I was last there (more than 15 years) it is now paved all the way up with a nice parking lot. Anyhow it is a 2+ mile hike along the north side of the river from the trail-head to the hot springs.

yep.. underwater photography.. there is a pipe that brings in the hot spring water to the tubs and this is a underwater pic of where it comes in

right before we left we decided to go to a cooler area and then get out.. unfortunately the other tub had a higher sulfur IE burny content so we got out rather quick.. anyhow it was a great time. Then we headed home stopping at outback steak house on the way home for some dinner (note: I hadn't eaten at outback before and I don't think I will again).
