My high hopes were doused upon arrival, the well-constructed pool
that was present during my last visit was dismantled. The only
soaking opportunities were two, small silt and mud filled pools with
luke-warm water and one riverside pool filled with cold water and
silt.

This HS would have been a little nicer if the soaking pool was a bit
warmer. Besides that, it's great! You have a sweet view of the river (and
the forest service road) from the pool. The small soaking pool is built
just below the larger source pool, which is filled with algae and other
goobers along with scalding hot water. There are also plenty of campsites,
campgrounds and other hot springs along the Middle Fork Boise River Road
all the way down to Atlanta, Idaho.
