We are having an unusually harsh winter this year. It is reported that we've had the most snow in the last 40 years. I know for sure that I shoveled more snow than any other year. Our patio cover was damaged by heavy snow. With snow, ice and inversions hanging over our city it is indeed not a very pleasant winter.
We live in Idaho where around 200 hot springs are available for our enjoyment. We have been to few of them and it is wonderful to sit in the hot water to relax and let your stress melt away. What a great way to spend winter days, soaking in a hot spring. But this year with all the snow we are not sure about the road conditions so we were not able to make trip out to a hot spring.
While I was looking at some old pictures I came across this picture from 2006. Oh my goodness, look at our adorable girls. That was 11 years ago. This was our first visit to Goldfork hot spring. This hot spring is located in Donnelly, ID. It is about a 2 hour drive from Boise, but it is worth the drive. My favorite part of this place other than the hot water is that they allow people to bring their own food and drinks. My least favorite part is the lack of changing rooms. We had to share one small room with five or six other people with no privacy.
We visited this hot spring just about once every year since then, but I think we had the most fun on our first trip. Maybe because our kids were little, or maybe because it was new to us. Whatever the reason we really had a good time playing that day.
It is definitely worth it to make a day trip or stop by on your way to and from MaCall.
