Hike and Hot Springs

A challenging trip to a virtually unknown and uncharted cluster of hot springs hidden above the far bank of the South Fork Salmon River. Requires a raft and life jackets. Swimwear? You gotta be kidding! Cluster might never have been discovered if it weren’t for a pair of eagle-eyed friends of mine who were out hiking the South Fork Trail one cold morning and spotted steam across the canyon. They managed not only to track it down but also to construct a cozy pool with proper plumbing on a slope that most would find impossible to build on. Not many would go to such lengths to ensure a private soak, so these folks aren’t too worried about the word getting out.Courtesy of Evie Litton, Hiking Hot Springs in the Pacific Northwest (Falcon Guides).

Be careful. Pay attention to posted signs and always test the waters before you get in. Some hot springs can get up to boiling temperatures. Be sure to drink plenty of water to combat the dehydrating effect of the spring.
Be respectful of other soakers and the hot spring. Don't hog the pool. Camp at least 200 yards away and keep fires in designated areas. Keep your pets out of the water and never pee in thermal feature. Glass bottles should never go near a hot spring.
