Upon reading some of the reviews I was nervous/skeptical/and kinda horrified. Then I read all of the small print for my reservation. It is all stated on there. The sign reads closed ( as they have to account for all people who have reservations) it is closed to the public, you call when you get to the property to check in. The owner tells you where the changing areas are, and tells you to proceed up the hill to enjoy something that they have created. If you purchase a soak pass just for you be prepared to share the grounds. It is a communal area. However they offer different options should you want the pools for just yourself for a fee. ALWAYS inquire.
These hotsprings were originally used by Ute, Shoshone, and Piute. In 1886 Mr. Cooper turned the land into his home. 1930 Mr. Farnsworth purchased the property and held events at the dance hall. By the 1970's all of the structures were renovated. Now Mr. Ginsburg is the new owner and continues with music festivals. After the property was purchased Mr. Ginsburg installed several soaking tubs directly into the terrain. The idea that he used behind this forethought, allowed the water to flow directly into each tub and the pools that are below. Creating the mindset that all of this happened organically.
The rock coloring surrounding the springs is an adverse effect of the minerals that have mixed with geothermal heated water. The trace minerals that are contained in these springs are calcium carbonate, iron, and magnesium.
In addition to the hotsprings there are reclaimed buses that have been renovated for rental use, and actual campsites should you want to backpack and bring your tent. Soak passes are required weather you stay there or not.
This is one of those things that you have to allow yourself to enjoy the moment. I cant tell you if you will be blown away. However I can say this, sometimes in life the best things to see are the ones we have no expectations or pre-determined ideas. If I would have let the other reviews dictate my day I never would have enjoyed something so off the beaten path. I do alot of road trips, adventures, and weird things. I have been to top notch resorts, and I have been to AirBnB that was scary. I love being outdoors and enjoying the scenery. So if your into that type of thing, add this place to your list.
Would most def recommend - pricing in my opinion for what I saw and entertained was reasonable. $25.00 per person for 2 hours. I went early enough to have the tubs to myself until more people who had the same mind frame as I joined. This made for a neat experience. Seeing something from someone else's view point allows us to become a better listener...
Read moreAn interesting place to stay and enjoy some hot springs, but definitely has a few drawbacks. The bus we stayed in was freezing, not very well insulated, and the single heater was definitely not enough to keep the whole place warm. The temperature inside dropped to about 30 degrees with the heat cranked up on high. I ended up sleeping in the same bed as my friend and her boyfriend because the bus was so cold. That bed was comfortable and the heated blanket kept us toasty when the temperature outside dropped to 5 degrees. However the other bed provided was incredibly lumpy and freezing, as it was right next to the door that didn't fully close. We were also told there would be a charcoal grill to cook with, but the one provided was tiny. We ended up driving into town for fast food. The hot springs are located behind the main office building. Our accommodations were a good 100 feet from the pools, uphill on a dirt road in the snow. We ended up driving to and from the springs and our bus, just to avoid the cold. There are changing rooms in the office, but you have to go through the lobby and then walk around the entire building outside to get to the pools. This is okay on the way in, but downright miserable walking back in a wet swimsuit. The office also closes at 11pm, so if you swim/soak after that, your only option is to leg it or drive back to your bus, which is so cold you don't even want to change in it. The bathrooms are indoor and heated, however. The pools themselves are definitely the highlight - the hottest is about four feet deep and the other pool is about two feet deep. They feel amazing. There's also a very chill and welcoming vibe here, and they nailed the hippie aesthetic. I think they could really benefit from some sort of changing shelter directly next to the pool, and more efficient insulation in the buses. If you decide to stay the night during the winter, be prepared to feel like you're roughin' it, and bring really warm pajamas and slippers to walk to the bathroom in. Almost definitely a place more suited to day soaking, unless you're looking for an experience...
