No. UT: 5th Annual Diamonds for Christmas at Diamond Fork Hot Springs

About This Event

We might not be getting diamonds for Christmas, but there are diamonds at Diamond Fork Hot Springs! Let’s hike there together—it’ll be our 5th year!

Since the road to the trailhead usually closes sometime in winter, this 5-mile summer hike will likely turn into about 8 miles. We’ll park either at the trailhead or at the road gate and hike in from there.
