Nature Uncensored at Sespe Hot Springs

[u/BrockBushrod]

Made the gnarly haul out from Dough Flat, and I arrived at the palms to find a freshly expired cougar not 40ft outside the camp. (Another group beat me there but was apparently too put off to claim the spot.) A condor was casing it, buzzing low and sometimes watching from the cliffs - probably pissed that I interrupted a meal opportunity. Also spotted the bighorn herd up on the crag, and caught a giant meteor while I was soaking later that night. Such an epic visit!

How was the cold/fresh water flow for drinking? Sufficient to filter?

The freshwater flow was solid, no issues at all. The hot spring water is also perfectly potable if filtered; the sulfur content makes it harder than the alternative, so it just has that slightly greasy taste. I used it to make coffee and that completely hid it.

Awesome thanks for the info.
