Seasonal Notes
Road could turn into muck-pots in rain and deteriorates the closer
you get to the HS (4x4 recommended during rain/snow seasons). |
Camping Notes
BLM camping a few miles from the hot
springs, private residences and property everywhere else. |

Yuk. Well, there is actually potential here. But the old bathtub that
houses the pool has got to go. As does the structure that is built
around and into the tub. The hoses that carry the hot water from the
source to the tub need replacing and repositioning as well. I think what
once was is too far gone for repair. The flow from the source is
questionable too. Even with some reengineering there just might not
be enough flowage to keep soakers happy. The reservoir that the hot
springs in on is no longer... it is now a range for cattle grazing. A
few miles away you can find some nice camping along the road back
towards Juntura, but besides that the land around the hot springs look
to be private even though it is marked on the map as BLM land. The map
shows Beulah Reservoir as an actual reservoir too though.
