forgot about these places actually yahoo had a top 5 swiming holes in america that reminded me theres aztec falls by lake arrow head you can cliff dive and what not, then below on the back side of the mountains theres deep creek hot springs and these are natural springs not like hot springs turn swimming pool for public, although im sure theres a bunch of nudies (could be wrong since it is a little hike to get there)

once again not my vids lol
aztec falls

deep creek hot springs
not going to post youtube video since my suspicions were confirmed about the nudies lol!

did some minor camping/hiking the other week. Los Padres is nice but need to do more scouting.


Spent the night off the road before pushing further in.

We didn't camp, we stayed at The Quality Inn right on the main strip in front of Zion. We would take the shuttle bus in the morning to whatever trailhead we were going to hike. We did Angels Landing, The Narrows, and The Emerald Pools. It was a really fun weekend. I want to go back next summer and do The Subway.
