Bear Valley Hot Spring!
This hot springs has been one of my favorite spots for over 25 years. I am losing my love for this location however, as the red mites
in the spring water are doing more and more damage to my skin each successive trip. I love the spring, but I hate the itching and sores
that go hand in hand with each visit.
We were a little late getting in here this year, and so we had to contend with snow in some portions of the trail |

The top of this local ridge remained frosted for the entire 3 days we were there |

It is a bit of a grunt coming up outta the HS and up to the trail. Hiking partner is 'slow going'. |
Bogdan and George are noting, 'What's the big deal. Piece of cake!' |
Not near so much water now, eh? |
Notice the rock was almost covered during my spring trip. |
