Diamond Fork Hot Springs, also known as Fifth Water Hot Springs, is located about 30 minutes outside of Provo, Utah. This definitely one of the most incredibly beautiful natural hot springs in the state of Utah. Multiple rock walled hot spring pools filled with milky blue and green hued water flow from one to another. The pools are as warm as 102 degrees and then progressively get cooler.

To get to the hot springs you take a 2.5 mile moderate difficulty hike. The hike to the springs can last a few hours, so it's a good idea to wear sturdy hiking boots and bring plenty of water. Since there are no services like food or water once you start on the trail, it's handy to pack some snacks and a small first-aid kit. Also, considering the fluctuating temperatures, especially if you plan to stay until the evening, bringing layers of clothing will ensure your comfort. Lastly, since the area is a natural and preserved site, it's important to take out whatever you bring in, keeping the hot springs clean and beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
