and most colorful hot springs in the world.

You'll have a picnic lunch in a scenic meadow.
Towards the end of today's hike, you'll make your way out of the backcountry and descend back to the trailhead. Tonight you'll spend the evening at a luxury safari style glamping site, amongst a field of horses.
