Driving on the narrow road in can be a little stressful being single laned at times with tight curves however once you get to the parking lot you can start to see up the valley which you walk up. Once you start your trek you zig-zag over a stream a few times and through two bolder fields just watch your step it can be a bit risky but the trail is marked with stacked rocks so no need to worry how to navigate them. Be careful of wildlife too I witnessed a momma and baby moose in one of the ponds and there are bears in the area as well. You can bring your dog but only up to a certain point and watch for the beaver pond so they don't drink the water cause it's nasty and you don't want to have to carry a dick dog down the mountain. Once you get to the top and hop in the hot spring it's like sitting in an infinity pool on top of the world. You can see all the way down the valley and the Maroon Bells too and at night it's like sitting in a snow globe as you watch the stars and milky way go from one side of the valley to the other, it's magical.
