The Hot Spring:

The hot springs are 3 very nice, concrete tubs that sit in the site of an old bath house.  The structure is not standing but the pools remain. the flow comes into a trough from a source about 200 yards away at around 135 degrees.  The water flows directly to the tubs. A channel has been dug so that the hot water flows around the tubs spilling into the water where there have been rocks put in the way to decrease the flow and keep the pools at a good temp, adjacent to the pools is a cold spring which has pvc piping to bring the water to the pool.  This way you can have 3 different temps to 3 pools.

 There is camping everywhere and there are no restrictions, clothing optional although watch out for families and sheep herders and everything wil be ok.

Wow! That's pretty tight! That source looks like it real far back there. I wonder if that was done to move it from one property to another???
