    The hot spring tour was prohibited today due to early spring. Therefore we chose to make an other round which was beautiful and did not disturb nature. Last end was with the car I forgot to shut off recording sorry.

    Starts of as a good trail, then disappears. We crossed the river a few times unnecessarily, then trampled across steaming mountain side and ankle snatching terrain. Do not recommend.
