MEADOW

Meadow Hot Springs

Meadow, Utah is a one-stop wonder with exactly one goal—get weird in a hot spring filled with tropical fish. We went in the winter, when the outside temp made you question every decision that led to this moment. Honestly, we almost didn’t skim down to our swimsuits… but I’m so glad we did. The water was hot enough to forget how cold it was—at least until you had to climb out again and reenter the frozen Utah wind tunnel known as “the field.”

You park outside a barbed wire fence, walk down a dirt path, and bam—there’s 3 soaking pools. Depending on your vehicles capabilities you can drive all the way to the hot springs and park on the outside of fence. Unless you’re that guy who parks inside the fence right next to the hot springs like he owns the place. Don’t be that guy. Nobody likes that guy.
