The Incredible Spring-Fed Pool In Utah You Absolutely Need To Visit

Utah's weather is so fickle - in April you can enjoy 70-degree weather one day, and snow the very next. If you're looking forward to swimming outdoors, there's no need to wait for the sun to come out. Visit Crystal Hot Springs, where you can bathe in the mineral-rich warm waters of the spring-fed pools.

Crystal Hot Springs opened in 1901, but 450 generations of Native Americans bathed in the springs here long before that.

In its early days, the pool was located in a building, and patrons received a rented bathing suit along with their admission ticket. During World War II, wounded soldiers bathed here, believing that the water had healing properties.

The resort has an Olympic-sized pool, soaker pool and three mineral hot tubs. Two springs - one hot spring and one cold spring - flow into all of the pools and hot tubs, keeping them nice and warm throughout the year.

The springs contain 12 different minerals. The water in the pools are constantly refreshed - water from each runs into a pond, which then feeds the Bear River.

Fly down one of two 365-foot waterslides. The slides were salvaged from Willard Bay in the 1980s, and are open year-round.

The warm soaking waters of this pool are perfect for swimmers of all ages.

This place is open year-round, and it's downright magical in the wintertime.

You'll make memories here that will last a lifetime.
