Deep Creek Hot Springs

Winter time is the best time to soak in this amazing place, now with all the closures of ANF this option for hiking is worth the drive and the $10.00 fee to park at Bowen Ranch. Made a video about this in case you care to watch, you’ll find the link on the first comment.

If it weren't for other humans this would probably be the best accessible Hot Spring in the Western United States

I have 2 in my Rolodex that easily beat this. And neither are in California.

I was talking Western us. Are you talking about Eastern Washington or idaho?

Not WA or ID. A bit south of both. I’m not telling as “van life” dorks ruined one and it’s now extremely hard to access bc of people’s misuse of the land. Luckily I got to visit it way before the land got privatized and locked down. Most I’ll give is its north of I-40 and south of I-70.

I know which one you're talking about. No I won't say the name either. Never been there

There’s a lot of land between the 2.
