Very enjoyable. May not be best for kids under 10 unless active hikers particularly in the winter. Some slippery spots yesterday where additional traction aides encouraged (hiking poles, reliable winter hiking boots, Yak Traks,etc.). If opting to go in hot springs remember to bring a pair of dry extra socks/clothes/undergarments and BEWARE of the frozen ground getting in and out of springs. Will want to go with plenty of daylight or dress very quickly to avoid get extremely chilled in hands and feet and potential hypothermic.
