We rented a car and drove to the Baths. It started raining and as a result, we had the entire place to ourselves. Also, during the walk down to the Baths from the parking lot, I couldn't help noticing the unique smell of the vegetation there. And friends on previous trips made mention of one of their crew nearly drowning trying to swim in from a ball. I'd say, rent the car. And Nick is a great guy to meet!
