🍂 Looking for a fall adventure that comes with a pretty incredible reward at the end?

Skillern Hot Springs is tucked away in the mountains of Southern Idaho near Worswick Hot Springs, but getting there is part of the experience. The hike is about 6 miles round trip, with two route options — take the high trail for some elevation gain or the low trail, which requires river crossings.

Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by mountain scenery and trees showing off their fall colors. 🍁🥾

Once you arrive, it’s time for a soak! Skillern features two pools, including a cooler pool near the river and a hot spring waterfall cascading into a pool below. ♨️

Bring plenty of water, pack your swimsuit, prepare for the trail conditions, and make a full fall adventure out of it.
