Ready to soak! My “mother in law” was visiting and this was a perfect place to take her. Her balance is a little off so she needed something flat and soft to walk across. Plus she loves soaking in hot springs, so this was great for all of us.

My friend Christa and I played underneath the waterfalls. It was much warmer than the actual pool.

Time to head up to the waterslide! These slides once belonged to Willard Bay, back when they had a small roadside attraction. They repurposed them here at the hot springs. This water is regular pool water with chlorine but is still quite warm.

There are two slides, each at 365 ft in length. I normally feel claustrophobic in water slides, especially the black slides, but this one had plenty of space and breathing room for me.

What a blast! “Kiddie” type slides are more of my vibe at waterparks haha!

What a great day with the ladies! We stayed to soak for about 2 hours, and after that we all got too hot and dehydrated. Make sure you have at least 1 liter of water with you – it’s crazy how these waters suck you dry!
