Bubbling Springs

Hot spring four of four in four days while rambling the High Sierra. I think I covered about 80 miles in all – I changed my route mid-way through so I’m not sure.

Blaney Hot Springs isn’t so hot but it occasionally percolates up from the pits of hell and the bottom can get very hot when it does vent. Not many springs I’ve been in actually bubble up like this. The evening before I took this shot, I had dinner in the pool with two optimistic JMT hikers, one of whom goes by the IG handle @endlessbummer – which I just love. I also love they detoured off the JMT for a hot spring – that shows class. 😉
