Close
your eyes and imagine a beautiful turquoise blue pool of water
reminiscent of a Caribbean oasis... now envision that same small pool
of water in the middle of a cow pasture in the middle of Utah nowhere
and you have the Meadows Hot Springs/pools.
Okay,
so we aren't necessarily talking about a Caribbean oasis but the
Meadow hot springs/pools are pretty cool.
Located
about 6 miles west of Kanosh at the end of a dirt road you find three
impressive pools. They are on private land, and the landowner has
been generous enough to let people soak but a few reckless
individuals and I'm sure they won't be open for future generations.
As
mentioned there are three pools with #1 being my favorite. It has a
rope across and I never made it to the bottom to see how deep it
really is. Some reports say it's about 30 feet deep but I probably
only got to about 12-15ft before I had to come back for air. Some say
it's also about 100 degrees but I thought it was high 80's at the
most... incredibly relaxing with no sulfur smells.
Pool
#2 is wide and shallow with overhangs around the whole pool. I didn't
get in it but they say it's around 80 degrees.
Pool
#3 is air temperature around 70 degrees. Someone built a wooden dock
and I'm sure it's a riot to jump into on a hot day but it also
looks a bit sketchy. There are thousands of little fish that look
like some type of aquarium fish that have multiplied like crazy. We
would stick out hands in the water and the fish would suck at our
fingers.
