I find hikes to be more satisfying if there’s a destination. Hike to a glacier, or a waterfall, or … another waterfall. The Reykjadalur hike is different, and unique. Hike to a hot river. Change into a bathing suit, and hop in!

And so you need to take bathing suits and towels, as well as water to drink and maybe some snacks. My backpack was stuffed full (and full of wet bathing suits and towels for the walk back!) Let’s dig in to the details.
