Six pools. The big rectangular one, around to the right in the grotto, is the very hottest - 112°.
They get progressively cooler moving left. Next is the biggest and ranges from 110° to 103° according to the sign.
Beautiful setting at the opening of a little canyon with the busy highway and railroad tracks right above..
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
It is my fate to come here on weekends.
Again, the experience spaced me out so much I left something in the changing room - my swimming trunks this time.. I guess they're not as desireable as my boxers were five years ago, because they were in lost and found the next day - woo!
back again on Labor Day Weekend - eek!
On Sunday night it was very crowded, but it's a big place and I was able to eventually get to the prime spots I wanted to get to. It's really a very nice place.
Back on Monday late morning, where it is confirmed that hot springs on a hot, sunny day just aren't that much fun.
Delighted to discover this place. The fellow hooked me up with a good deal and I camped right across the street.
I left my favorite pair of boxer shorts in the changing room and they were NOT in lost and found on the morning, Very sad.
