Description

This "trail" isn"t much more than a walk down an abandoned, paved road. Sections of the road are detiorating to the point where (in 2006) the bed had narrowed somewhat with a slide at one point. This did not present any obstacle to getting to the hot springs.

The campsite is located before the bridge to the hot springs themselves. Head up the side trail to access the campsite. Beyond the campsite this trail leads to Boulder Pass and from there either into the Soleduck Valley or, via Cat Creek Basin, to the High Divide.

Features

This trail features forests, mountains and natural wonders (Hot springs).
