+## At a Glance
+
+- Lesser known hot springs in an infrequented region of Arizona.
+- Beautiful canyon with riparian flora all along the meandering creek.
+- Camping can be difficult to access and noisy. Weekends not recommended due to drunks.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- Pump station is loud if choosing to camp before any water crossings.
+- Lots of dog noise from nearby properties, day and night, echoing though the campgrounds.
+- Driving through the creek can be deep in some spots, but high clearance vehicles should be fine.
+
+## Recommendations
+
+- Drive as close as you can to the hot springs.
+    - I saw an unlifted Tacoma and 4Runner make it there no problem.
+    - My van made it to the first water crossing after the large campground. After that I did not want to risk anymore since my runner boards hang low. (TBD, -TBD)
+
+## Reception
+
+- AT&T worked great and had LTE.
+- T-Mobile had cell reception but no LTE/data.
+- Verizon: unknown.
