I always feel better after a wander. A short break from the routine of a life raising 5 children warrants one every now and again. Before Madsen's baseball games Saturday morning we packed the other three in the "burb" and went searching for Little Jamaica.
I was somewhat dumbfounded by the oasis in the desert we found. Rigby was kind enough to guide us on the adventure. Little Jamaica is part warm springs, part man made pool, part river.
I only wished we had more time and a picnic to thoroughly enjoy the experience, but now a days, we will take what we can get.
But this hidden gem proves to me once again just how amazing the southwest is!

To get to Little Jamaica, drive south through the Virgin River Gorge and take Desert Springs Exit 9 in Arizona. Then, take a right off the freeway exit and an immediate left. Next, go under the overpass and take a right onto a dirt road and find one of three paths that lead to the parking area. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, feel free to go straight. If not, test out the second or third paths.
From this point, go through the break in the gate toward the west and follow the path until you can see and hear the water. Follow the water until you find the pool.
To take a four-wheel drive vehicle down by the river, follow Fleet Street around until it becomes Anderson Lane. Take the next left and find a dirt road on your right that should take you down by the river.
Just another reason I love to wander- CARPE DIEM!
