Keep Hot Springs Clean and Safe for Generations to Come!
Pickup ALL trash, always pack it in - pack it out, respect others and the land. Hot springs are a gift. Abused hot springs are shutting down at an alarming rate.

Utilize Leave No Trace Principles and keep all soap and shampoo at least 200 feet from any water source; hot springs, creeks, rivers, lakes, springs and reservoirs.

Molly's Toe was very submerged under the beginnings of springs runoff.

I haven't see or heard of this hot springs... ever! I can imagine it is underwater during spring runoff and most of the summer. The hot spring has a light flow, but hot temps. It looks like at one time there was a pool built to catch the hot outflow. You won't find a soak here, even with a little re-designing I think you would be hard pressed for a decent soak. Works great for a foot soak though!

PUBLIC BATHING NOTICE

No Soap, Shampoo or BIO-Soap/Shampoo Allowed in Hot Springs! Avoid Being Fined!

Public hot springs are not bathing facilities and do not have 'plumbing' like that of commercial, improved hot springs. Soap and shampoo (including biodegradable soap and shampoo) do not completely breakdown naturally. This pollutes our water systems (ingested by fish, animals, humans) at or near the source. This is also illegal in most wilderness and public lands areas.
