Reykjadalur is that magical hike where you get rewarded with a steaming hot river to soak in at the end. 🏞️ The name literally means "Steam Valley," and you’ll see why — the whole trail is dotted with bubbling hot springs and rising mist. It’s 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, there’s a section of the river where you can bathe. Just find your perfect spot — some parts are warmer than others, so you might need to move around a bit. 🛁 It’s like nature’s 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. 💙
