Iva Bell is truly one of the magical places in the High Sierra. After a mad dash to Red’s Meadow we headed down to Iva Bell to soak our tired bodies. The hot springs are stunning. They are located on a hillside with spectacular views. We whiled away a day soaking in each of the springs, napping on granite slabs and listening to audio books. Before we arrived our bodies were at a low point, aching and beat up. After a rest day at Iva Bell everything is brighter and we are ready to take on the big Sierra passes to come.

One of our favorite things about Iva Bell is the constant sound of gently flowing water. It lulls you to sleep and makes you relax. This sound, heard all day and night long is one of the things that makes Iva Bell so special.
