Reykjadalur is that magical hike where you get rewarded with a steaming hot river to soak in at the end. šļø The name literally means "Steam Valley," and youāll see why ā the whole trail is dotted with bubbling hot springs and rising mist. Itās about a 45-minute to an hour hike from the parking lot, with gorgeous views of mountains, waterfalls, and valleys along the way.
At the top, thereās a section of the river where you can bathe. Just find your perfect spot ā some parts are warmer than others, so you might need to move around a bit. š Itās like natureās hot tub!
Bring a towel and swimsuit, but be ready for a quick change in the open (no changing rooms here). Also, keep in mind, the trail can be muddy in parts, but the soak at the end? Totally worth it. š
