Hot Springs Campout

For our annual Hot Springs Campout we camped at Diamond Fork Campground, then after setting up camp we drove to the trailhead and then we hiked up the 2.5 miles to Diamond Fork Hot Springs and soaked for about an hour before the night life started coming up so we packed up and hiked back down.  People have spent quite a bit of time creating pools to soak in so you can actually sit down in it!
On the hike back down we realized that one of our boys had done everything for his hiking merit badge except for one 10 mile hike (he'd already done a 20 mile in one day hike, and four 10 mile in one day hikes), so we asked if he would like to hike back to camp and he did!  So he and a couple of us leaders hiked down to the campground and finished his 10 miles!  Then when we got to camp the others had dinner waiting and ready for us!
