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.

Seasonal Notes
Unless you have a monster truck - don't expect to be able to reach
the hot springs during winter or heavy rain conditions. The road
turns into muck-pots in rain and may be washed out as you get closer
to the hot springs as a creek runs through it. 4x4 Recommended
except during the dry, warm months. |
Camping Notes
There are a few primitive sites
available near the hot springs. |

Briefings
01.22.06
My 2nd attempt at Prince Albert was cut fairly short. The 1st time I
was here I made it all the way out to where the road deteriorates
into a creek. I stepped out of my truck and "CRUNCH" - the entire
ground was covered with crickets! Hundreds of thousands of crickets;
in some places bubbling out of the ground like a spring. After some
light exploration I gave up, mostly because of the cricket festival
- I didn't want to impact any sort of mating, breeding or migration.
This time, the soft,
muddy roads gave way to slow driving and led to an impassable
water-over-road situation (see pic above). Plus, the road only gets
worse from this point. I'll try again, but next time during the dry
season.
