San Francisco Hot Springs and River Trail

Memorial Day saw us taking a very memorable hike along the San Francisco Hot Springs/River trail.  The hike to the springs is a very rocky, rugged, ankle twister of a trek dropping 2.1 miles  down into the river canyon, but once at the stream bed life becomes easy an beautiful.

Surprisingly, for a holiday weekend there was only one other car at the trailhead, so we pretty much had the trail to ourselves.  We let the other visitors enjoy the hot springs while we hiked downstream into one of the most beautiful riparian river canyons it has been my pleasure to hike. The dogs enjoyed a day filled with lizard chasing and swimming, but we were all a little sore footed by the end of the day.
