Relaxing, calm environment. As mentioned the top pool is the hottest, flows to the pools below at a cooler temperature. The pools are shallow, like a wading pool and the sulfur smell is at a minimal. great view of the sky, trees, and river below. Although it is family friendly I would not recommend bringing in pets or kids, they don't navigate wet cliffs with a lot of awareness. Hike in is steep but short and narrow at times, flip flops won't cut it. Pro tip for leaving is to walk down sideways.
