Brandon Stephens, Erin Baker, Kyle Lapczynski
Brandon: Worth the drive and definitely something you want to do.
Kyle: It was the absolute highlight of the day. It was awesome starting the trail in Montana and hiking into Wyoming. There were beautiful mountain views from the spring. Brian was very nice to photograph us as he stood in the cold water. Sitting in the hot springs was a very refreshing way to end the day. The sun set as we soaked and was gone as we departed. I would go back there everyday of the week.
Erin: It was hot. I was freezing when I first stepped in but I eventually found a hot spot. It took me awhile to get out because I couldn't' easily move against the current.
Brian: The hot spring was amazing. Less than a dozen people soaked alongside us. I first took some tripoded pictures wading and standing in the cold water cascading over the man-made rock dam. After a great group shot, I finally plunged into the wonderfully hot water and found a sweet spot. Then we traveled the length of the hot water cascades testing the temperatures. In many spots, movement changed the hot and cold water mix and cooled Kyle and Erin. One spot was extremely hot. I felt really good afterwards though I was pretty hungry. I kept on the walk back. It was an amazing experience and the best hot spring I've visited.
