So after all my Spring semesters at school, my girlfriend an I try to make some sort of a mountain trip. Mostly because by this point in the year, I'm completely losing my mind.
Jenelle is a huge fan of In-N-Out burgers, but we can't get them in Colorado yet. So I decided to base this venture around the closest location, in Orem, Utah.
After months of planning, scouting via Google Earth, talking to locals, late nights of internet searching, and ridiculous amounts of Montero prep and maintenance, I had a battle plan. So here we go. The Great Burger Pilgrimage.....
We left at 6AM on Friday, May 18th headed west on I70. It was gonna be a 7+ hour drive, so we needed to hit it early.

We scooted across the empty Utah landscape with no issues, and finally made it to her holy land.
2 DoubleDoubles there, and 2 for the road. We ate and stretched, and then continued to our first campsite for the long road home.

The first night we would set up camp along Diamond Fork Rd just east of Spanish Fork Utah. We found a pretty great spot, and set up for the night.


And that first night....I popped the question. Which may have been a silly move on day one of a 6 day venture. But it all worked out!

We got up early Saturday morning, and made breakfast before our hike at Fifth Water Hot Springs just up the road.

Fifth Water/Three Forks has secluded hot springs you can hike up to, and the hike along the way is nothing short of beautiful.



Up top are numerous pools to choose from, with some decently warm water. We stayed for a bit, and then decided to avoid all the people and head back down.

Along the way down, we found a good sized pool, and ended up staying there for a good hour or more.


Made it back down and had lunch by the side of the road. Since we were already all packed up, we decided to head to the next spot. We would stay mostly on FS roads, and make our way to Currant Creek Reservoir to the northeast.
When we arrived, we found a sign at the campground that the nightly fee was $23, and cash only. Not having that much on us, we decided to investigate an overlook that we had passed on the way.
No signs telling us NOT to camp, and it was getting dark, so we settled in.





Slept in a bit, ate breakfast, and headed out yet again.....
