That was one of the things that got me when hiking the Sierras. Some of those pools of water are so clear and beautiful, and it would be pretty darn hot sometimes, but that water would suck the breath right out of you and turn you blue if you jumped in.

Our streams that are mainly spring fed will stay cold all summer, but others will get downright hot sometimes.
