Soaking in Fifth Water Hot Springs (Diamond Fork Canyon, Utah) requires a 2.5-mile hike into Diamond Fork Canyon. If you're willing to put in the work, you will be rewarded with some of the most picturesque hot springs you've ever seen. The springs at Fifth Wheel consist of several rock-lined pools that flow gently into a small stream. The best time to visit is in the spring and fall when the crowds are minimal. The access road is gated in the winter, and while you can still hike to the springs, it doubles the distance you will have to walk. Have you ever been to the state of Utah?
