Day 1
I decided to go on a weekend hot spring trip. The trip involved going from Portland, OR to Burns, OR. The hot springs I went to is called Crystal Crane hot springs, about 30 miles east of Burns.
The drive was a little sketchy because of the snow and ice on the passes. Other than that it was a great relaxing weekend.
Driving over the passes there was a significant amount of ice.
That is what I saw upon arrival.
I decided to stay in a little cabin becuase. The cabin was nice and warm inside compared to the outside. The cloud you see is from the hot springs.
The water is too hot to let in in the pool directly so they came up with a system to cool the water down.
Day 2
Enjoying the hot springs. As you can see it is not your typical size hot spring.
It snowed quite a bit on day two.
At sunset.
Day 3
Headed back home today. It was pretty cold, my antenna was frozen.

Great view of the mountains thanks to the clear skies.
If you are ever around Burns I defintiely recommend a stop at the hot springs. The best part about it was I was the only one there.
