Overview
This great hike runs down a narrow, rocky canyon to a series of hot springs and several hot pools that beg for a good soak during cooler weather. Most of the route is a fairly easy, descending some 600 feet in about 2 miles to Goldstrike Hot Springs, but there is some 3rd-class scrambling (fixed ropes usually present) over and around boulders. From Goldstrike Hot Springs, it is 45 minutes and some tough scrambling (more fixed ropes) down to Nevada Hot Springs and the Colorado River. During hot weather, look forward to a quick drip in the icy Colorado.
